Wondering what these cowboys look like out of their Stetsons?John Dutton might have taken over the governor’s mansion in the latest season of TV mega-hit Yellowstone but his beloved ranch is still filled with familiar faces. Wondering what these cowboys look like out of their Stetsons? Read on for a look at the real life faces behind Montana’s most dangerous fictional family.
Kevin Costner as John Dutton
John Dutton may rule the ranch, but Costner’s been a draw at the box office for decades, starring in hits like Field of Dreams, Dances with Wolves, and The Bodyguard.
Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton
You might not know it from listening to Beth’s vicious wit, but Reilly is actually English. You can hear the Olivier Award winner’s real accent in films like Pride & Prejudice and Sherlock Holmes.
Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler
Hauser’s (Good Will Hunting, 2 Fast 2 Furious) portrayal has made Rip not only the handiest of ranch hands, but also every fan’s official Yellowstone boyfriend. He even dyes his naturally light hair and beard for the role!
Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton
Kayce might just have the most fraught relationship with his family of all the Dutton siblings—and that’s saying something. Luckily, Grimes has some practice taking on Kayce’s former soldier and cowboy persona, having also starred in American Sniper and The Magnificent Seven.
Kelsey Asbille as Monica Dutton
Asbille may have gotten her start on teen dramas like One Tree Hill and Teen Wolf, but she’s all grown up as Kayce’s wife Monica on Yellowstone.
Brecken Merrill as Tate Dutton
Kayce and Monica’s son Tate might be Merrill’s first big role, but we see big things ahead for him.
Wes Bentley as Jamie Dutton
Known for his work on American Horror Story and The Hunger Games, Bentley takes on the role of Dutton family black sheep, Jamie.
Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater
Birmingham did stints on House of Cards and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt as well as the Twilight Saga films before taking on the role of the machiavellian Rainwater.
Denim Richards as Colby
After appearing in a number of TV roles, playing ranch hand Colby has given Richards’ natural charm a chance to shine.
Ian Bohen as Ryan
Like Kelsey Asbille, Bohen spent some time on Teen Wolf (among other TV series like Chicago P.D. and Breakout Kings) before moving on to his role as ranch hand Ryan.
Jen Landon as Teeter
Teeter may be a rough-mannered ranch hand, but soap opera alum Landon is anything but. However, she does come by acting in westerns naturally; she’s the daughter of Little House on the Prairie and Bonanza’s Michael Landon.
Forrie J. Smith as Lloyd
Smith’s real life look isn’t much of a departure from playing Rip’s right-hand man Lloyd—in addition to being a stuntman, the actor is also a genuine cowboy.
Ryan Bingham as Walker
Troublemaking ex-con Walker gets his musical chops from real life singer/songwriter Bingham.
Piper Perabo as Summer
John’s adversary-turned-love-interest, environmentalist Summer, might not be an obvious fit for the ranch life, but Perabo is no stranger to TV. In addition to the cult-classic film Coyote Ugly, she has spent plenty of time on the small screen, starring in the spy thriller Covert Affairs, along with stints on Penny Dreadful: City of Angels and Billions.
Jefferson White as Jimmy
Before taking on the role of hapless ranch hand Jimmy, White spent plenty of time on action-packed TV shows like Blindspot, House of Cards, The Alienist, and How to Get Away with Murder. Though he was made a series regular in season five, it’s long been rumored that White could be leading up the in-development Yellowstone spin-off, 6666.
