“Dutton Ranch” co-creator Taylor Sheridan is reportedly “pissed” about Ed Harris’ rant about his “inconsequential” role on the western spinoff.
“Ed Harris will remain on the show and his role will get even bigger,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“He is getting more time even though he pissed Taylor Sheridan off with his comments. But Taylor does what he says he is going to do; a promise is a promise,” the insider added.
“He will give Ed more screen time like he initially said. So, Ed can shut up now.”
The source said Harris, who plays veterinarian Everett McKinney in the “Yellowstone” spinoff series, “made himself look like he has a really big ego, which he obviously does.”
“He can be prickly. But he’s great on screen, so there’s that,” the insider claimed.
Page Six has reached out to Harris’ rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

In a scathing interview with Variety last month, Harris, 75, revealed he was “frustrated” with his role on “Dutton Ranch” and had asked his team to “get him the f–k out of” the series “midway through” filming Season 1.
“I felt a little bit misled,” the “Truman Show” star — who did not name-drop Sheridan, 56 — confessed at the “Dink” premiere in Los Angeles.
“Prior to signing on for it, I was talked to quite a bit about what the season was and what my character was going to do — and that I was one of the four main characters,” he claimed. “And that wasn’t really the case.”
Harris claimed his concerns were shrugged off when he brought up feeling “inconsequential” on the Paramount+ show.
The “Radio” actor said he was “really pissed off” when a scene he’d been promised was ultimately cut.
“They didn’t show it. They said it was too up for the dark ending of that episode. That, to me, was reason enough to say, ‘I’m voiding my contract,'” the Oscar nominee told the outlet.
“I [was like], ‘F–k you people,’” he continued. “That’s all I’ve got to say.”
Despite the drama, Harris is currently signed on for Season 2, which begins filming next year.
“Dutton Ranch” also stars Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler), Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton), Annette Bening (Beulah Jackson) and more.
