Riley Green Teases 'Marshals' Debut, Passion for Duck Hunting and More

Riley Green is all about ducks!

The singer, who will be making his acting debut on CBS' Marshals Sunday, April 19, tells Us his nickname is "Duckman" to his friends, thanks to his passion for duck hunting. He also shared that his secret talent is his duck call - which just so happens to be how he starts his concerts as well.

Green, 37, got real in his 25 Things You Don't Know About Me feature in the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. In addition to ducks, he opened up about his love for his grandfathers, moments he was starstruck and peaceful Saturdays at the farm.

Keep scrolling for more fun facts from Green:

1. My favorite season is fall. Football, hunting season and that cool air just feels like home.

2. My most vivid childhood memory is spending time with my grandpas. They just so happened to be great friends.

3. When I'm not on the road, I like to spend Saturdays at the farm hunting, fishing, writing music and just soaking in the time I get there.

4. I'm a night owl; that is when everything comes alive. Plus, I have a bar in Nashville, the Duck Blind, so of course I love nighttime.

5. My Marshals acting debut came about because I love a challenge. I met Luke Grimes, and he encouraged me to go for it. I am so happy I did.

17. My alternate profession would be a football player. I played in college and I still love it!

18. I'm not big on fast food, but for takeout, I usually go for some form of steak and vegetables.

19. My proudest career moment was probably when I won my first CMA Award and my parents were there to see me accept.

20. I have a lot of goals in my career, but the biggest is to one day have my very own headlining stadium tour.

21. I love to work out after a hectic day. That helps me refocus and keep my mental health in check. Sometimes a glass of my bourbon, Duck Club Bourbon, hits the spot too!

22. My dream collaborator is Tim McGraw. I've been lucky enough to collab with many people I admire, but he's one that I've always looked up to.

23. My favorite city to visit is home in Alabama; there's nothing better.

24. Three items I can't leave home without include a duck call, my phone and my mobile gym that I bring on the road with me.

25. "Red Dirt Road" by Brooks & Dunn brings back the best memories. I feel like it was a staple song in the soundtrack of my life growing up.
