This guy really took the role seriously. I don't know how much preparation he did but Cole Hauser is nearly unrecognizable here. His expressions, mannerisms... disposition - nearly everything about the character seems entirely unique to Rip Wheeler. He deserves an emmy award for his work on this show.

Its cool when an actor thats been kicking around for a long time finally gets the role that makes them the recognition they deserve.

Chuck Norris applied for this role and Rip took him to the train station

They couldnt of picked anyone better to play Rip Wheeler !!! Cole Hauser is one of the most underrated actors I've ever seen !!!

Rip says , “ almost doesn’t matter” and Kevin says who taught you that. Rip says “you did sir” - Kevin gave him a look like a dad does when you checkmate them with their own words. Well played by both.

Rip is my favourite , honest ,loyal and straight up , he’s old school simple

Cole Hauser trivia for those who don’t already know: he is the son of Cass Warner, who founded the film production company Warner Sisters, and actor Wings Hauser. His paternal grandfather was Academy Award-winning screenwriter Dwight Hauser. One of Cole's maternal great-grandfathers was film mogul Harry Warner, a founding partner of Warner Bros., and his maternal grandfather was Milton Sperling, a Hollywood screenwriter and independent film producer. Cole comes from one of the biggest Hollywood families but you would never know it because he has never used it to get famous. He has earned his acting creds all on his own and deserves all the praise he gets especially for this role if Rip Wheeler.

I love the amount of respect he has for Dutton. Always. NEVER questions him. NEVER disrespects, NEVER talks back. Loyal

Without Rip, there is no Yellowstone!

Rip, the modern day Clint Eastwood. And I love Clint Eastwood.

Never heard of this man until Yellowstone.....now I will never forget him. Love him.

Only thing bad about this show is there’s not enough episodes!! Best show on television!!

Cole Hauser has been around a long time but the way he plays Rip is career defining. It’s like Rip is a real person they just put in the show.

Hauser was MADE to play this part! He has made Rip into one of the greatest on-screen characters of all time.

Love Rip when he busted thru the glass to save Beth in he office that was great. I can watch it over and over. Beth and Rip together are great

Cole Hauser breathes life into an amazing character.

I've loved Cole Hauser for years. In all his roles, this is by far the perfect one. He plays it like it is in his blood. He and this show deserve a lot of recognition.

He has to be acknowledged for this role. The best character ever in a show!

I respect how he delivers his lines. His expressions are so easily understood & moving.

So perfect RIP and Beth together 2 Badasses

Cole Houser has been underrated too long. He's an EXCELLENT actor

COLES ROLE OF A LIFETIME AND HE DOES IT SUPERBLY...GREAT SHOW, SOPRANOS WESTERN STYLE.

Love Rkp. He's a rough tough cowboy thru & thru But has a heart of pure gold. That's what I love about him

My favorite show on television now...MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.

I love how rip took a couple bullets and just kept going to save Beth. He’s a freight train

Rip represents the toughness and loyalty every man wants to have and should have.....give me a few like him and anything is possible!

Every scene with Rip is a “Best Moment”.

This is the kind of show that I would and will wait a year for the new seasons to come out.

Rip is on bad ass cowboy. He's fearless and extremely loyal. I love how John Dutton rewards that at the end of season 2.

I love that first Kayce/Rip scene so much. Rip knows right away its gonna be a scrap, and gives him the first shot, then welcomes him home while riding off, hahaha!

Not many men like Rip on this planet these days. The best character in the series.

EVERYTHING about "Yellowstone" rocks - the writing, the acting, the music, but especially the scenery.

Hauser is one of and will always be one of my favorite actors. Dude never slips on a role. He did so well in Paparazzi.

Can’t give enough credit to the writers, to the people who picked the actors to play their role and just the perfect chemistry between Rip and Beth, love love their storyline. Going back now to rewatch from the beginning...again.

Best show on TV in a long, long time.

I just started watching this series and I love it because of Cole Hauser's character. I really like the chemistry between he and John Dutton👍

"Be a man about it. Don't scream. " Maybe thats why Rip started to like Jimmy.

The Rip Wheeler character is what most men strive to want to be, fiercely loyal to a "T", respected by his peers, & slightly feared by those who don't truly know him.

Cole Hauser is the modern Gary Cooper- stoic, loyal and strong.

Rip is my favorite along with Kevin Costner

This puts a new meaning on the phrase, RIDE FOR THE BRAND.

Yellowstone is so well acted with such a fantastic well written script and the back drop along with scenery is majestic it had me hooked from the very first episode

Need more RIP scenes, real badass

Fantastic show just can't get enough.

Best character ever

"You see it's the habit of living, that your scared of losing -- that's all" -- Rip Wheeler.

This show gives me a sense of justice in this jacked up upside down world right now. Granted it is a bit extreme, but there are a lot of tune ups given in this show that many people in our politics deserve. Gives me hope that it might still all work out. 😂😂

I met Rip or the person he was based on, years ago went to Western Montana to Elk Hunt, my guide was Calvin, he was Rip to a tee. Strong, kinda quiet, but a great, nice guy. There are stories about hunters that did wrong in camp and Calvin fixed their attitude problems. Bring big city attitude to rural America and you will receive rural attitude.

BY FAR THE BEST SERIES IVE EVER WATCHED. LONG LIVE THE YELLOWSTONE.

5:17 love his emotion here, you can see how much he cares.

RIP is all cowboy, no holds bar! Love his mean aggressive attitude. Then he can be a gentleman in a matter of seconds when Beth is present. Just runs a tingle down any woman's spine, a rebel with 110% charge!

Love Rip and Yellowstone!!!

Rip is the man💪🏼 best character & best actor picked to play badass Rip🤘🏼💪🏼😜

The very best show to ever be on TV. Love me some Yellowstone.

I thought he was evil before, but he is simply loyal.

The character of Rip is awesome! One of the main reasons I like this show so much.

John Wayne, Lee Van Cleef, Clint Eastwood... ALL great cowboy actors! Something about Kevin Costner... he's #1 in my book. Open Range was awesome.

Since "Lonesome Dove", Yellowstone is the best series to come to television,, hands down

RIP is the toughest man around until John shows up, and then he’s like a calm Soldier awaiting instructions from his Sergeant

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PROGRAM FOR A VERY LONG TIME!! I watch it faithfully and I even buy each season to being watch

Love RIP he is the best on here, this is the best role I've ever seen him play. He is tough and has a tender side when it comes to Beth

Haven't watched the show, but this hyped me up. I can't believe that's Cole Hauser.

♥️...wow , he’s my kind of man 😊💕

Cole Hauser is an awesome and amazing actor! A great cowboy! He should get an oscar award for his acting!

I liked the scene where Beth had been beaten and she called Rip. "I need you." And Rip took care of business. Yeah!

Rip makes this show worth watching over and over again 🤣

Cole Hauser deserves an Emmy award!!!

Love Rip. My favorite in Yellowstone

Throw back to when you rode for the brand. Love it. All of it. Rip Shure can cowboy.

Best show ever ! Hope it never ends .

I am considered OLD. I have ever ordered a poster in my life; that was until Rip came along. It should be here next week!

The dynamic and chemistry of Beth and RIP is like Humphrey and Bacall.....stars of the show

The world needs more Rip Wheelers

Almost finished the first season. Absolutely love this show!!

The world needs more people like Rip Wheeler!!!!!!

I absolutely love this show. I know it's just a show, but Rip for president!!! Like I said, I love this show and all the actors who are in it and their rolls. Kevin and crew, keep it up. I love you ALL!!!!

Rip is still my favorite in the whole show and Kelly makes the perfect pair to see to the range standing tall forever...we want more and more of Yellowstone not spin offs

I wish there was more BASSED stuff like this to watch!

Rip sure did turn Jimmy around. "There's Sharks and minnows, be sure you know which one you are."

The most amazing show I’ve ever watched. The acting is perfect.

It's getting cold Jimmy!

I love Rip's character. Loyalty to John for life.❤

Rip is a outstanding man...we love waiting to see him...we know he is a character and actor.he plays his role to a make believe person...5 stars to RIP...no he is a 10 stars

I love when Lloyd whips that guy in the face. lol

Great actor. Great show

I've just binged watched the whole 4 seasons in 5 days just wow!!

Love Rip one tough SOB. He takes no prisoner's. I am so glad that Beth has him now. Best show on TV.

Rip is such a Badass!..... he's the only reason I watch this series.

A perfect circle 🔥🤘🏼🔥 love that song

Can't wait for season 4

One of the coolest characters on t.v. history and we share the same unique name... too cool!

I could watch rip and Casey all day

When this series is over and done It'll be right up there with "Lonesome Dove".

Rip is a total Badass!

I watch the show just for him and Beth! I hope they make it all the way and that she gets miraculously pregnant!♥️❤️

RIP is my favorite character. The actor is amazing

Got talked into starting to watch from beginning...now I can't stop

Haven't liked a show this much since SOA or Vikings and Rip's character is the best on the show

RIP is the best part of the show, the reason I kept watching it. Cole does a great job playing RIP....what a BadAss character! and he is also funny! There could be a show totally based on Rip or with Rip and Beth and it would be a big hit!....
