1923’s Teonna Actor Reveals Biggest Hope For Character In Season 2
1923's Teonna actor, Aminah Nieves, reveals her biggest hope for the character in season 2, which involves exploring more of her personality.
1923 star Aminah Nieves reveals her biggest hope for Teonna in season 2. The Yellowstone prequel has followed several storylines, including the survival of Nieves’ character, a young Indigenous American woman who suffered cruel mistreatment from Father Renaud (Sebastian Roché) and the Catholic boarding school she was placed in. As the series progressed, Teonna Rainwater began to rebel, escaping and finding refuge with Hank Plenty Clouds (Michael Greyeyes), and her journey will likely be an important part of 1923 season 2.
In a recent interview with TV Line, Nieves explained that while Teonna has been fighting throughout most of the series, she hopes some of her character’s wit can be explored in future episodes. The actor revealed that Teonna is “smart in all the ways,” adding that part of her personality was teased in the season 1 finale. Read Nieves’ comments regarding Teonna in 1923 season 2 below:
“Yeah. I think you kind of saw a little tiny piece of it when she was talking with Pete [in the Season 1 finael]. She’s still exploring what it is to be a child and how that feels and looks like to her, but she’s a little sassy one, man. [Laughs] She’s smart, you know what I’m saying? She’s smart in all the ways. She’s smart-mouthed a tiny bit. She likes to ruffle some feathers in the best possible way. I really hope that you can just see some of the comedy behind her, the subtle comedy that she has within herself, in Season 2. But who knows, man? Who f–king knows? …I want you guys to see all of her in Season 2. I’m just praying. But she’s witty, man. Teonna’s very witty.”
