Fans know Neal McDonough from massive hits like Yellowstone and Michael Cudlitz in iconic roles like The Walking Dead's "Abraham."

Now, the two are going head-to-head in the new thriller, Red Stone.

"Right from the beginning, after I read the script for the very first time, there's only one person to play the villain and that's Michael Cudlitz. We had this really tight window and he agreed to it and I can never thank Michael enough for doing it. Without him playing the lead villain, this film would not had been the same as it is," McDonough said.

"You will do anything you have to do to protect your family and in this instance, kill, if you have to. That's just the reality of their world. This is a western of sorts. The family's family... until their not," Cudlitz said.

Red Stone is in theaters now.
