Kevin Costner as John Dutton

Costner's been a draw at the box office for decades, starring in hits like Field of Dreams, Dances with Wolves, and The Bodyguard. While he led the cast for the first four and a half seasons of Yellowstone, he exited the show between the first and second halves of season 5.

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.

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.

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

Cam McLeod

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.

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 the screen. In addition to the cult-classic film Coyote Ugly, she has spent plenty of time on TV, 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.
