"Landman" was Jonon Ham's lightest audition in his career. Taylor Sheridan invited the actor to his Ranch in Fort Worth, explained his ideas for the show and offered him the section right there and then. However, not every member of the cast had as easy time as Ali Lord, who plays Angela Norris on the oil worker's play, described his audition as one of the most difficult in her career.

In an interview with Hollywood reporterThe Warsit Blues Starvala remembered that he had to read four pages of the script during the early stages, followed by 10, and so on. After that, she was summoned to Fort Worth for a screen test - along with 11 other actors who were running to play Angela. Then things got hard. In his own words:

"You are referring to one by one. And then you have to wait until everyone is doing. It's not a joke! When I say that mental game is so much of our business, you must be able to perform, and I think Taylor puts people under this kind of pressure to see if you can deliver them when you have his sets."

The Angela's character received some reaction from "Landman" fansWith today's people claiming that it is shallow and unrealistic. However, maybe they will give her a second chance now that Lord has revealed the obstacles to overcome to get the part. The opinion of a few hatred should not matter, though, as Later enjoys playing the character, and she believes that Angela is more depth than her critics would believe.

One benefit of Ali Later jumps through the hoops to be part of a Series Taylor Sheridan is that she fully understands her character. After reading the 18 pages just to get a screen test, the actor began watching Angela as a complex character, and is about the fact that she is a middle -aged woman who is full of life and accepts her sexuality. In the show, Angela is shown as a loud, proud, carefree lady, but she is capable of being serious when important.

Since then, Lord has tried to make Angela the best version of herself that can be. In fact, she and Billy Bob Thornton made a lot of preparations to ensure that the above nature of Angela and Tommy Norris's relationship was sold by persuasion. As he said:

"We all put up a huge time and energy in the first season to build this house in which we live. There were a lot of fights and vitriol between the two, and I wanted to do it, but we really worked to find our relationship as people we could bring to our job at that time."

With the Landman Season 2 officially on the road, Larter will have more opportunities to explore Angela's appeals, disadvantages and nuances. It now depends on Sheridan and co-creator Christian Wallace to write the character in a way that makes today's warm for her.
