In the blockbuster Yellowstone , Lloyd is portrayed as a loyal and composed old cowboy. However, in real life, actor Forrie J. Smith is a “ticking time bomb” with a rebellious and carefree personality. His recent scandal of being kicked off a plane proves that, for Forrie, the rules of modern society mean nothing compared to the ego of a true cowboy.
Tragedy at Houston Airport: When Freedom Goes Beyond Limits
In March 2024, a video showing Forrie J. Smith being escorted off a plane by security forces in Houston quickly went viral on social media.

The truth behind the drunken incident: Forrie admitted to drinking before boarding the plane, but the real reason he was removed was a defiant act. The actor flatly refused to sit next to a passenger wearing a mask – a symbol he considered “imposing” and “an invasion of personal freedom.”
-
An incident of chaos in the air: After being reprimanded by the flight crew, instead of cooperating, the “veteran” of Yellowstone resorted to rude language, shouting and declaring that he didn’t need to follow any rules. As a result, he was immediately removed from the flight, much to the astonishment of hundreds of passengers.
The producer’s extremist ideology and obsession.
This isn’t the first time Forrie J. Smith has caused the Yellowstone film crew embarrassment by making them clean up the mess.
-
An “enemy” of public health: He is famous throughout Hollywood for his extreme anti-vaccine views. In 2022, he even refused to attend the prestigious Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards because of the requirement that attendees be vaccinated.
-
Outrageous statements: On social media, Forrie frequently posted articles attacking the government and social norms, portraying himself as a representative of the classic free spirit of the West. These statements repeatedly pushed the Yellowstone brand into waves of public boycotts.
2026: A lone cowboy in a new era
As 2026 approaches, with Yellowstone nearing its end, Forrie J. Smith maintains his solitary lifestyle. Despite being a talented actor, his eccentric personality and personal scandals have gradually isolated him within the entertainment industry.
While people loved Lloyd on screen, they were equally apprehensive about Forrie’s real-life extremism. He was the last embodiment of an old cowboy era – those who chose to clash with the world rather than integrate into it.
