"Yellowstone" fan favorite Forrie J. Smith won't be alongside his co-stars at the Screen Actors Guild Awards due to the Covid vaccination requirement.
Although Forrie maintains he'd love to attend the feted affair to represent his "culture and heritage," no red carpet or awards show is worth a jab, he believes.

"I want to apologize to y'all for not being at the Screen Actors Guild Awards," Forrie, 62, said in a since-deleted Instagram video posted on his account. "I mean no offense to anyone. I'm not vaccinated, and it's a requirement to be vaccinated at the Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony."
"I'm not vaccinated, I will not get vaccinated," he continued. "I haven't been vaccinated since I was a little kid. I don't vaccinate my dogs, I don't vaccinate my horses. I've never had a flu shot. I never will. I believe they compromise your immunities… It's no offense to anyone. It's just my beliefs. I just don't believe in that stuff. Whatever."
The Paramount show, in which Forrie plays ranch hand Lloyd Pierce, is nominated for best TV drama ensemble.
Forrie had a recurring role for the first two seasons of the massively popular show, and he was promoted to series regular in the third season.
According to the SAG Awards' website, "All ticketed attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination plus booster shot (if eligible), proof of negative lab-based COVID-19 PCR test within 48 hours of event, and negative antigen (rapid) test the day of the event."
