Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount Plus drama “Landman” is a series with some big-name stars at the top of the bill. These include the likes of Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, and Jon Hamm — all folks who, at this point, need no introduction. But between all the A-listers are both up-and-coming and journeyman actors who aren’t necessarily household names, but who certainly know their way around a Hollywood set. One such member of the main cast of “Landman” is Kayla Wallace, who stars as Rebecca Falcone — a lawyer who has a bone to pick with Cooper Norris (Jacob Lofland), the son of central protagonist Tommy Norris (Thornton) and his ex-wife Angela (Ali Larter). Landman Season 2 wrapped up on Sunday with its 10th episode, which includes some explosive scenes involving Kayla Wallace’s lawyer character. “Rebecca is — she’s feisty,” Wallace said during an appearance on CTV’s “Your Morning” (via YouTube), adding, “She’s incredibly driven. … She’s a go-getter. And I really was grateful to dive into the world of law. … Like, watching trials. I was really into it.”

Wallace has played a key role in Landman since the series began streaming on Paramount+ in November 2024. Initially, Rebecca was at odds with M-Tex Oil fixer Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), but after she is named chief legal counsel for the company at the end of Season 1, the two eventually become close allies in Season 2. Rebecca shows her greatest allegiance to Tommy in the Landman Season 2 finale when Tommy’s son, Cooper (Jacob Lofland), finds himself facing murder charges after beating a man to death after he attempted to sexually assault his fiancée, Ariana (Paulina Chávez). A brilliant, no-nonsense attorney who has an astute understanding of the law, Rebecca breathes fire in two key scenes in the Season 2 finale episode — both involving encounters with a pair of detectives who are trying to pin a murder charge on Cooper despite saving Ariana’s life.

Though “Landman” is arguably Wallace’s most high-profile acting job at the time of this writing, Wallace’s on-screen career dates back to at least 2015. So, even if you couldn’t immediately identify Rebecca’s actress by name while watching “Landman” for the first time, it’s certainly possible that seeing her rang a bell — especially if you’re someone who frequently tunes in to the Hallmark Channel to watch its various original movies and series. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the places you may have seen Kayla Wallace before she joined “Landman.”

She starred on Hallmark’s ‘When Calls the Heart’ from 2019 to 2023

While Kayla Wallace’s role as Rebecca Falcone on “Landman” may be the biggest of her career, the role she’s spent the most time playing is almost certainly that of Fiona Miller on the Hallmark Channel’s original western series “When Calls the Heart.” Wallace joined the show during Season 6 in 2019, and she remained a recurring cast member through Season 10 in 2023 (the same season the show got a creative jump-start from a new showrunner, Lindsay Sturman). She eventually had to leave “When Calls the Heart” due to scheduling conflicts with “Landman,” though she did still make a guest appearance as Fiona during Season 11 in 2024. Speaking to People in December 2024, Wallace teased a similar appearance in Season 12. She also made it clear that “When Calls the Heart” would always be a part of her. “It’s never a goodbye,” she said, adding, “It’s just always like — can it work out with whatever’s going on in my life that year?” Wallace also explained that she still had plenty of friends on the set of “When Calls the Heart,” including the “Landman” actress’ real-life husband, Kevin McGarry. “It’s one big family, that set. It’s such a great community that show, and we’re both very lucky that that show came into our lives. It brought us together, so we’re just very grateful for it,” she told People. Wallace added that she and McGarry were similarly “grateful that the cards played out the way they did, and that we got to work together.”
