Jefferson White (Jimmy Hurdstram)
Jimmy Hurdstram joined the show as a comic figure, an ex-con who somewhat unwillingly received the brand and joined the Dutton ranch. Since then, he’s evolved into a bonafide cowboy and rodeo rider.
Before Yellowstone, actor Jefferson White had a recurring role in season 2 of ABC drama How To Get Away With Murder. He also appeared in NBC’s Elementary and the Netflix drama House of Cards.
White wasn’t sure what to expect when he joined the show, telling ScreenRant, “I learned a long time ago, pretty early on, that trying to guess what [Sheridan] is going to do next is a futile exercise, because what he comes up with is so much richer, so much fuller, so much more interesting and curious than anything I could’ve guessed.”
Jimmy moved to the Four Sixes ranch in season 4, and he’s expected to appear on Sheridan’s proposed spinoff series, 6666.
In addition to Yellowstone, White appeared on the NBC procedural Chicago P.D. for four episodes in 2022 and 2023. He also has a role in the recent Anne Hathaway film Eileen (2023) and the upcoming Alex Garland movie Civil War.
White has been hosting the official Yellowstone podcast since 2021. When the series launched in 2021, he told PEOPLE, “This isn’t just your typical recap show, we are going to unpack the world of Yellowstone, everything from rodeo to ranching to reservation. This is about getting the full picture of the culture and the community that surround the show.”
White is married to actress and social worker Casey Wortmann, who appeared in a 2022 Yellowstone episode as Judge Wright’s assistant.
