Being a Kevin Costner production, it was inevitable we might see a few familiar faces in his new movie. So, who from the Yellowstone cast (and the wider Dutton-verse) appears in Horizon: An American Saga?
Costner stepped away fromYellowstone Season 5 Part 2in order to focus on makingHorizon: An American Saga(among other reasons), and now, it’s time to see if that move really paid off.
you may read ourHorizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1review to see what we thought of the epicWestern, but you might be more interested to see if anyone from theYellowstone castpops up.
Well, they do. You might even be surprised to see just how many actors fromTaylor Sheridan’s TVuniverse turn up in Horizon. Luckily, we’ve broken down every Yellowstone cameo from thenew moviebelow. (Warning: minor spoilers for Yellowstone and Horizon ahead!)
Danny Huston
Who they play in Horizon:Huston joins the ranks of Horizon as Col. Albert Houghton. We don’t see much of him in Chapter 1, though all signs point to him returning in further installments. He’s a general in the Civil War, who runs the outpost where Frances Kittredge and her daughter wind up after their town is attacked.
Who they play in Yellowstone:Huston plays the most inept and somehow belovedYellowstone villain, Dan Jenkins. A real estate mogul who’s clamoring to get his hands on John Dutton’s land, Dan goes from being his worst enemy to his ally. We miss him, we love him, we salute you, Dan Jenkins.
Will Patton
Who they play in Horizon:In Horizon, Patton plays Owen Kittredge, a man traveling with his family along the West as part of Luke Wilson’s wagon trail. He has three daughters and seems to be a man happy to work, and even happier to get his daughters involved, too. From what little we see of him, he appears to have a good relationship with the wagon leader, and knows what he’s doing.

Who they play in Yellowstone:Patton made his entrance onto theWestern showfollowing one of the most shockingYellowstone episodes. After Jamie discovers he was really adopted, Patton plays his scheming, hangdog birth father, Garrett Randall. With a sordid past and unclear intentions, Randall gets Jamie into quite a bit of hot water as he turns his newfound son into an enemy of the Duttons.
James Landry Hébert
Who they play in Horizon:After an entire settlement is wiped out during a brutal attack, Hébert’s character, Flagg, joins a ragtag team of men who make it their mission to hunt down Native Americans for sport. It might be under the guise of vengeance, but their mission is truly destructive, with Flagg and his crew stopping at nothing to take the scalps of even the innocent.
Who they play in Yellowstone:Hébert actually shows up in theYellowstone spinoff,1883. He plays Wade, one of two cowboys who help the wagon trail escort their cattle across the unforgiving landscape. While his partner falls in love with the young Elsa Dutton, Wade is more practical. All he wants is to do his job, get paid for it, and hopefully not die in the process. That said, he’s smart, and he does help the Duttons and their team get out of a few dire situations.
Dalton Baker
Who they play in Horizon:Baker plays a young Civil War soldier in Horizon by the name of Private Epps. He lends a hand during the recovery of survivors after the attack at the beginning of the film, and grows close to Francis and her daughter, Lizzie. At the end of the film, he’s being sent off to battle, so it remains to be seen whether he returns for Chapter 2.
Who they play in Yellowstone:There’s no shortage of flashback scenes in Yellowstone, and multiple feature Baker as Young Jamie Dutton. His role is actually integral to the troubled relationship betweenJamie and Beth Dutton, as we finally discover through one of his scenes that Jamie is the reason Beth can’t have children of her own. As such, he gives a little more insight into one of Yellowstone’s most polarizing characters.
As Kevin Costner’s Western saga continues to grow, so too could the list of Yellowstone stars making an appearance.
