While one of his great-grandfathers was film mogul Harry Warner, who was one of the founding partners of Warner Bros.
Speaking about taking on the role of Rip in Yellowstone, Hauser recently told Collider: “Back when they were casting, I had just come off a TV show I did for four years.
“I’d been all over the world doing it, and I was looking for that next thing. I didn’t know [Yellowstone creator] Taylor [Sheridan], but I knew [producer] John Linson very well.
“I just wanted to talk with Taylor and say, ‘Hey, where’s this character going? Who is this guy to you and to John Dutton?’
“And after the conversation I had with him, I was in. He told me the thing that I was looking for, which is that I want to see colors [sic] in a character.”
He went on to say: “I don’t want to just play the cowboy that rides the fence line.
“I want to have at least that kind of wave of colors [sic], and Taylor was like, ‘If you trust me, you give me this opportunity and we’ll find that’.”
Yellowstone fans were rocked recently when it looked like Beth Dutton could be dead and Kelly Reilly leaving the show.
Fans are also curious to know if Luke Grimes could also be leaving as Kayce Dutton.
