Yellowstone has been bringing about surprises for fans every now and then. Be it the fact that Kevin Costner not continuing to play John Dutton in the series or something else, every news comes as an unforeseen and never-in-a-million-years-expected shocking surprise.
And now one new report has popped up highlighting the stunning link between Vin Diesel and one major star from the Yellowstone television series: Rip Wheeler. As it turns out, the Rip Wheeler portrayer had previously starred opposite The Fast and the Furious actor more than two decades ago in the 2000s flick, Pitch Black as William J. Johns!
Yellowstone‘s Rip Wheeler Is Pitch Black‘s William J. Johns?
This may come as a surprise to most people that Cole Hauser, who played William J. Johns opposite Vin Diesel‘s Richard B. Riddick in the 2000s action flick Pitch Black, is indeed the same person who went on to play Rip Wheeler in the superhit television series Yellowstone over two decades later.
In Pitch Black, Hauser plays the sneaky bounty hunter in charge of transporting the prisoner and Diesel’s character, Riddick. Meanwhile, in Yellowstone, he played the all-business brooding cowboy Wheeler, who helps run the Dutton Ranch in the series.
Not only did Cole Hauser star opposite Vin Diesel in Pitch Black, but he also went on to star in one film from Diesel’s blockbuster Fast & Furious franchise, i.e. 2 Fast 2 Furious. However, that was also the only movie in which the Riddick actor was not present. Surprised now?
Considering the recognizable difference between the roles and how the Dazed and Confused actor has changed over the years, this fact remained relatively unknown to most people until recently when one fan pointed out the comparison via Instagram:
