Bentley said that Costner would not have been alive to tell him what to do, and that he wouldn’t know how to act if he had.

“Jamie would have been completely lost,” The actor explained. “Maybe part of him would be frantic trying to take care of the ranch.”

“I really do think he means what he says,” He concluded. “He would feel that burden and maybe panic.”

But, it’s not too late. John Dutton has become the governor of Montana – things are a little different.

“After John ran for governor and became the thing he said he hated, Jamie started to have a change of perspective,” Bentley stated. “Maybe John is not this tough guy he says he is. Maybe John doesn’t have ideas. Maybe he’s just another guy like the rest of them.”

“That’s the loss of the pedestal [he was on],” He concluded. “The deity is gone. I think that’s why Jamie’s choosing to try to have him killed. [He realizes that his] life would be much better without him, which is a big change for Jamie.”
