Riley Green is adding actor to his resume. 

He has a role in the new “Yellowstone” spinoff “Marshals” alongside Luke Grimes.

Riley plays Garrett, a former Navy SEAL who served with Luke’s character. 

“Garrett is a former Navy SEAL . . . He’s troubled.  He’s got some issues in what they went through together back in the day.”

Riley admitted that acting made him nervous. 

“I don’t get nervous to play shows anymore . . . but this was a brand-new thing for me.  It was a big learning curve, I’m glad they were patient with me.”

“Marshals” premiered Sunday on CBS, but Riley wasn’t in the first episode. 

According to some disappointed fans, it seems like Riley’s character will appear later in the season.
