John Dutton is the iron-willed patriarch who will stop at nothing to protect his family\u2019s land. Which Oscar-winning actor portrayed him for the first four seasons of Yellowstone?<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n A<\/span>Sam Elliott<\/label>B<\/span>Josh Brolin<\/label>C<\/span>Kevin Costner<\/label>D<\/span>Kurt Russell<\/label>\n <\/p>\n\n
\u2713 Correct! Kevin Costner brought gravitas and quiet intensity to John Dutton, anchoring Yellowstone as one of the most-watched shows on cable television. His departure ahead of Season 5B became one of the biggest stories in TV.<\/p>\n

\u2713 Correct! The branded \u201cY\u201d is the Yellowstone Ranch\u2019s livestock mark, but for ranch hands, wearing it on their chest means a lifelong oath of silence and loyalty. \u201cTaking someone to the train station\u201d is what happens to those who betray it.<\/p>\n
\u2717 Wrong trail, cowboy! The answer is the letter \u201cY\u201d \u2014 for Yellowstone. The brand is both a ranch identifier and a mark of absolute loyalty. Characters like Rip, Kayce, and Jimmy all bear the \u201cY\u201d brand, signifying they\u2019ve sworn their lives to the ranch.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
