Brian Geraghty Doesn't Have Fond Memories Of Preparing For 1923

In January 2023, "1923" star Brian Geraghty spoke with E! News about the series, detailing the preparation required to portray Zane Davis. Truth be told, it wasn't an easy road, with Geraghty describing the "cowboy camp" Taylor Sheridan set up for himself and his co-stars as excruciating and left him "very sore." Still, that's not to say that it didn't come without a silver lining. "[W]e got to have highs and lows together before we started, which actually was really good for bonding. We would all be terrible, and then the next day progress," the actor explained, commending the "1923" cast for sticking it out despite the difficulty that comes with learning new skills in adulthood.

Geraghty isn't the only one who walked away from "1923" with lasting memories of cowboy camp. Brandon Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton on the show, went a bit deeper into what occurred during these courses in an interview with Collider. He shared that one of the main goals was to ensure everyone could properly and naturally ride a horse and, thankfully, no one fell off as they learned. Sklenar also spoke to the bonding aspect of it, recalling, "[Y]ou're all kind of neutralized because no one knows what they're doing. You can build that together and everyone's so supportive of one another."

Cowboy camp may have been a tough experience for actors to get through, but for the cast of "1923," it seems that it was worth the struggle. Not only did they learn how to ride horses, but along they way, they built up some chemistry with their co-stars that translated well to the small screen.
