Isn’t it cool how a single actor can change the entire vibe of a show? Well, that’s exactly what happened when Cole Hauser joined the Yellowstone cast.
The Significance of Cole Hauser
The drama series ‘Yellowstone’ was already a winner, thanks to genius creators Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan. But bringing in Hollywood hotshot Cole Hauser added a fresh layer of intrigue. Fans quickly saw how Hauser was the missing puzzle piece that elevated the show to new heights.
The Perfect Role for Hauser
Kevin Costner’s portrayal of John Dutton had already won us over. But Taylor Sheridan believed the ranch’s story needed an extra push. This is where Hayser, playing Rip Wheeler, steps in. Securing Hauser for Rip’s role wasn’t an easy task. Sheridan, however, had his eyes set on Hauser from the start. He was confident enough to skip the usual audition drill.
Why Hauser for Rip Wheeler?
Sheridan was impressed by how genuine Hauser was, a trait perfectly suiting Rip’s character. Having watched his exceptional performances in ‘Pitch Black’ and ‘Tears of the Sun’, Sheridan knew he was the perfect fit. He saw something special in Hauser. This special quality, coupled with his Midwestern resilience, was just what Rip’s character needed.
Securing Hauser wasn’t a breeze but Sheridan’s persistence paid off. With Hauser, a new dimension of authenticity and complexity was added to the Yellowstone world.
The Expanding Small Screen Universe
While Hauser is making a stir in Yellowstone, Sheridan isn’t slowing down. He’s got a new drama series, ‘Landman,’ on the horizon. The series, painting a picture of the modern-day West Texas oil scene, stars Billy Bob Thornton and several other notable cast members.
‘Landman: A Dark Glimpse into the American Dream’ is set to premiere its first two episodes on November 17th on Paramount+. It promises to unravel the shady side of the American dream, a topic brilliantly tackled by Taylor Sheridan.
Continued Collaboration with Costner?
Sheridan acknowledges that Yellowstone’s success is largely due to Costner. He even hints at the possibility of Costner directing future episodes, despite his tight shooting schedule.
Finally Concluding Yellowstone
As Yellowstone reaches its end, Sheridan’s choice of casting both Costner and Hauser proves spot on. These star additions shaped Yellowstone, landscaping the path for other dramas like the upcoming ‘Landman.’
