Dabney Coleman portrays Kevin’s on-screen father, John Dutton Jr.
Kevin Costner is mourning the loss of Dabney Coleman. Taking a break from the Cannes Film Festival, the actor penned an emotional post to his beloved co-star on Saturday.
“One of the most heart-wrenching scenes I’ve been a part of,” he captioned a still from season two of Yellowstone. “What an honor to have gotten to work with Dabney Coleman. May he rest in peace.”
As fans will remember, Dabney appeared as Kevin’s on-screen father, John Dutton Jr., in the hit western drama. His episode – ‘Sins of the Father’ – aired in 2019.
Boasting an extensive list of credits, Dabney’s best-known films include 9 to 5, Tootsie, WarGames, The Muppets Take Manhattan and You’ve Got Mail. He also appeared in episodes of The Guardian, Ray Donovan, Recess and Boardwalk Empire.
Dabney’s death was confirmed this week with his daughter, singer Quincy Coleman, announcing that he’d died at his home in Santa Monica, California, on Thursday. He was 92.
“My father crafted his time here on Earth with a curious mind, a generous heart and a soul on fire with passion, desire and humor that tickled the funny bone of humanity”, she said. “As he lived, he moved through this final act of his life with elegance, excellence and mastery.”
Dabney is survived by his children, Quincy, Randy, Kelly and Meghan, and his grandchildren, Hale, Gabe, Luie, Kai and Coleman.
