Mo Brings Plenty (Mo)
Playing the right-hand man to Broken Rock’s Chief Thomas Rainwater, Mo Brings Plenty has seen his role on Yellowstone expand with each season. He was promoted to series regular in season 5, and he also became the show’s Native affairs coordinator.
In his Native affairs role, Brings Plenty, who was born on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, works with Indigenous communities to ensure that the show includes fluent language speakers of the tribes represented on screen. “I always go to the people who have been through the trials and tribulations to keep the language and traditions alive, because I feel that they deserve that recognition and type of respect,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2023. “As American Indian people, our language is fading fast. And once our language is faded and gone, then our existence is gone.”
Brings Plenty’s acting credits also include the film Cowboys & Aliens (2011), House of Cards (2014), and the miniseries The American West (2016).
He is married to Sara Ann Haney-Brings Plenty
