Speaking of an about-face , when Cole Hauser ambled in to his first scene in the hit show Yellowstone , most people had a hard time placing where they ’ d seen him before — so complete was the transformation of this previously clean-shaven actor from his previous roles .
Hauser ’ s nuanced portrayal of Yellowstone ’ s ranch foreman Rip Wheeler is in no small part dependent on a face that appears forged from years spent in the saddle , braving the elements . Sporting a dark , wiry beard and a wizened expression , Hauser ’ s faces conveys a multitude of emotions that range from fierce and vulnerable to rough and tender .
As Texans , we recognize that steely gaze and determination that comes from years spent working the land , which makes Hauser ’ s character so engrossing to watch . We catch up with the breakout star to learn about his Montana and Texas connections and to hear what ’ s next for this now bonafide cowboy starting on page 26 .
Meanwhile , we have a lot more going on in this issue , including an insightful and timely article from Hodges Capital on everything you need to know about retirement income planning .
Be well !
