Kayla Wallace Talks Landman, When Calls the Heart, and Facing Off with Billy Bob Thornton

Taylor Sheridan is a well-oiled storytelling machine, and his latest drama, Landman, set in the unforgiving boom towns of West Texas, promises high-stakes drama and a masterclass in grit. Kayla Wallace steps into the chaos as Rebecca, a fierce attorney who’s unafraid to shake up the old boys’ club — and maybe survive a snake or two along the way. The actress talks with Kyle Meredith about the series, as well as her return to When Calls the Heart. Wallace relishes the role, bringing a fire that holds its own against powerhouse Billy Bob Thornton, whose rugged cynicism fuels the series’ combustible energy. From courtroom showdowns to tense standoffs in oil fields and wind farms, Wallace’s Rebecca is a woman who’s done her homework and isn’t afraid to use it.The behind-the-scenes details are as riveting as the plot. When Wallace talks about acting alongside real snakes — plexiglass shields or not — it’s clear Landman doesn’t just flirt with danger; it marries it. “I was absolutely terrified,” she admits. “I thought the snake would somehow learn how to jump and get me.” Add in Wallace’s commitment to exploring the environmental and human costs of oil, and you’ve got a drama that’s as thought-provoking as it is pulse-pounding.And for those who know Wallace best from When Calls the Heart, there’s more to look forward to. While her character Fiona took a detour to Nashville, Wallace hints that we might not have seen the last of her in Hope Valley.
