Minka Kelly

“IT FEELS LIKE YELLOWSTONE AND FRIDAY Night Lights had a baby.”

-  —H. Alan Scott

For Minka Kelly, whose career skyrocketed on the latter Texas-set drama, joining Netflix's similarly situated Ransom Canyon brought back some “nostalgia.” Kelly plays Quinn O'Grady, a woman who returns to the small Texas town after a stint in New York City and rekindles a romance with Staten Kirkland (played by Josh Duhamel). “What excited me about everyone [in the cast] was just how talented they were, along with how beautiful they all are. There just isn't a weak link.” Kelly says Ransom Canyon is both “relatable” and “really different, its own thing...the quintessential American experience, and how the town comes together, and the family values and the family dynamics and the family dramas.”
