A storyteller at heart, Luke Grimes maintains a fearless pursuit of challenging roles, evolving with each new project, and is fast becoming one of Hollywood’s most in-demand multihyphenates within film, television and music.

Grimes leads MARSHALS on CBS, which follows ex-Navy SEAL Kayce Dutton, who leaves Yellowstone Ranch to join U.S. Marshals, using his cowboy and military skills to fight crime in Montana while dealing with family ties and the mental toll of law enforcement.

Most recently, Grimes can be seen in Ari Aster’s contemporary Western film “Eddington” for A24, which had its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, opposite Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone and Pedro Pascal. Grimes also starred in the fifth and final season of Taylor Sheridan’s juggernaut YELLOWSTONE, starring in a fan-favorite role as Kayce Dutton. The series chronicled the trials of the Dutton family as they control the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds and hard-earned respect, the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders, including an expanding town, an Indian reservation and America’s first national park.

Grimes’ other film credits include Antoine Fuqua’s “The Magnificent Seven” opposite Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt; Clint Eastwood’s Academy Award nominated “American Sniper” opposite Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller; Peter Sollett’s “Freefield” opposite Elliot Page and Julianne Moore; Eddie O’Keefe’s “Shangri-La Suite” alongside Emily Browning; Jonathan Levine’s thriller “All the Boys Love Mandy Lane”; Brett Simon’s dark comedy “Assassination of a High School President”; James Foley’s “Fifty Shades of Grey” trilogy; Cam Archer’s “Shit Year,” which made its festival debut at Director’s Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010; and Olivier Megaton’s international box office smash “Taken 2.” On the small screen, Grimes also starred in Greg Berlanti’s hit drama “Brothers and Sisters” and HBO’s top-rated series “True Blood.”

The son of a Pentecostal pastor in Dayton, Ohio, Grimes spent summers at church camp where he learned to play drums, which led to his other passion: music. With a soulful voice, Grimes breathes life into the sounds of the American West, blending elements of country, folk and Americana. Signing his first record label with Universal Music Group, Nashville, Grimes released his self-titled debut album in 2024, which followed the success of his first EP, “Pain Pills or Pews.”

Grimes co-wrote 10 songs on his debut album, including “No Horse to Ride,” which debuted at #7 on the country songs sales chart and accumulated 43.3 million release-to-date global on-demand streams. Grimes’ music has amassed 200 million global on-demand streams and he is currently in the process of recording his second studio album. In 2023 and 2024 he completed two headline tours and performed at some of country music’s most respected festivals, including Stagecoach, Pilgrimage Music Cultural Festival and Under the Big Sky Festival. Grimes will also spend this summer touring the U.S.

Grimes currently resides in Montana. His birthday is Jan. 20. Follow him on social media @lukegrimes.
