Cole Hauser, known for his role as Rip Wheeler on “Yellowstone,” had a challenging childhood marked by his parents’ early divorce. His father, Wings Hauser, a prolific actor, was largely absent from Cole’s life until he saw his name in movie credits at nine years old. This discovery led to a reunion, with Cole moving in with Wings at 15. Under his father’s guidance, Cole learned the ropes of acting, paving his own way in the industry.
Born to Wings and Cass Warner, founder of Warner Sisters production company, Cole grew up with his mother, deeply influenced by her filmmaking heritage. Cass, granddaughter of Harry Warner, a Warner Bros. co-founder, instilled in Cole a love for storytelling. Despite his fractured family dynamics, Cole maintains close ties with both parents, particularly cherishing moments with Cass, who supported his acting aspirations.
Cole’s journey reflects resilience amidst familial complexities, guided by influential figures in Hollywood, shaping him into the actor he is today.
