- California Doubling: the series takes place in Wyoming, but is filmed in New Mexico—a part of New Mexico that really does look a lot like Wyoming, though.
- Fake American: Robert Taylor (1963) (Longmire) is Australian.
- Fake Nationality: Filipino-American Lou Diamond Phillips as a Native American. This is nothing new for the actor.
- Playing Against Type:
- Graham Greene is famous for his peaceful, stoic mentor roles, but here he plays the corrupt, murderous and Faux Affably Evil ex-Tribal Police chief turned gangster Malachai Strand.
- Tom Wopat, best known for playing a heroic rural outlaw who mocked and humiliated the corrupt local sheriff's department, plays a sheriff who is revealed to be corrupt.
- Screwed by the Network: Despite being one of their most popular shows, A&E cancelled it after the third season due to being too expensive and having viewers too old for their desired demographic.
But it was later renewed on Netflix and ran for three more seasons with the sixth slated to be the final one. - Stunt Casting: Tantoo Cardinal, one of the most famous Canadian First Nations actors, plays the small (but significant) role of the Crow medicine woman Marilyn in a few episodes in the last three seasons.
