Yellowstone's young John Dutton actor Josh Lucas originally wanted to be cast as Rip. ' I’ve not said this to people, I really wanted to play Rip. But [Taylor Sheridan] clearly wanted Cole Hauser.'
Josh Lucas had his eyes set on a different role before he became young John Dutton in Yellowstone. Played by Kevin Costner since the series debuted in 2018, John Dutton III is the patriarch of the Dutton ranch in Montana, a sixth-generation rancher who also became the Governor of his home state in season 5. A widower seeking to hold onto what is his by any means necessary, John has a strained relationship with some of his family members, which include his four children.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While speaking with Deadline, Lucas reveals that the younger version of John shown in the flashbacks was not his first choice for a role on the neo-Western drama series, stating that he had his eyes set on ranch foreman Rip Wheeler at first. Loyal to John to a fault, Rip is a complicated character with a troubled past who is fiercely protective of his family, of which he became an official member with his marriage to Beth .
"I wanted to be in the pilot. In fact, I’ve not said this to people, I really wanted to play Rip. But [Taylor Sheridan] clearly wanted Cole Hauser and it was kinda cool for me because I’ve known Cole since we were like 17, 18 years old."Why Young John Dutton Is Essential To Yellowstone Lucas' turn as John has proved extremely successful, showing that Sheridan made the right call with the casting decision.
Even if Sheridan does not create a prequel dedicated to Lucas' version of the Dutton patriarch, the younger version of John is important to Yellowstone for several reasons. John Dutton III is not exactly an open book, typically exhibiting a tough, no-nonsense persona and going through his life fiercely dedicated to his obligations.
It's clear to viewers from the start that John's goal is to protect his family and preserve their legacy, a priority that never wavers for the steadfast character. However, gaining more insight into who John was before he had single-mindedly dedicated himself to his role in the Dutton legacy helps viewers understand what is at stake for the character in the present.
