Taylor Sheridan has \u201ctaken [his] beatings,\u201d the one-man TV posse told Howard Stern on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Sheridan, who at this point makes pretty much every TV show your dad watches, says the \u201cworst\u201d of those beatings also happened to be \u201cthe greatest gift that I ever got.\u201d The story also happens to explain why he left FX\u2018s hit cable series Sons of Anarchy<\/em> after just two seasons.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all good: Sheridan has gone on to make a few hits (to varying degrees) of his own, like Yellowstone<\/em>, Tulsa King<\/em>, Landman<\/em>, Lioness<\/em>, Mayor of Kingstown<\/em>, The Madison<\/em>, and Yellowstone<\/em> prequels 1883<\/em> and 1923<\/em>. He\u2019s soon taking his television talents to NBCUniversal, where Sheridan has already set up a film deal.<\/p>\n

But 15 years ago, when he was a mere actor, Sheridan says he made scale on the Kurt Sutter series, which was about $10,000 per episode (on a 13-episode show).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not talking about an exorbitant amount of money,\u201d Sheridan said, adding, \u201cespecially not in L.A.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI literally would leave the set of that show and go to my other job \u2018cause I didn\u2019t make enough on that show to pay my rent and live,\u201d Sheridan told Stern on SiriusXM. \u201cSo after season two, I told [Sutter]\u2014 I said, \u201cGuys, I\u2019m not coming back and doing this again for this price. I\u2019m just not doing it. I want what the other 14 people [make].\u201d<\/p>\n

Sheridan clarified that he was not asking for the same money the shows established stars like lead actor Charlie Hunnam, Katey Sagal and Ron Pearlman made. Producers offered Sheridan $15,000 per episode, but at a guarantee of 10 episodes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do the math on it, and I said, \u2018That\u2019s not a raise. What is that?’\u201d he recalled. \u201cAnd I said, \u2018No.’\u201d<\/p>\n

A \u201cbusiness affairs guy,\u201d presumably at FX, told Sheridan\u2019s attorney that the actor could be recast \u201ctomorrow,\u201d per the writer\/ex-actor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s 50 of that dude,\u201d Sheridan said the man told his lawyer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI realized my value is I\u2019m imminently replaceable and that my business did not respect me,\u201d Sheridan said. \u201cSo, I quit the show\u2026 that\u2019s when I decided that I was going to write. I quit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy god, that takes fucking balls,\u201d Stern said. \u201cBravo.\u201d<\/p>\n
