Jefferson White has also been brought to the spotlight thanks to his role as Jimmy on Yellowstone.
The series has also helped other actors make a name for themselves in the industry including Ryan Bingham (Walker), Kathryn Kelly (Emily), Jennifer Landon (Teeter) and Dawn Olivieri (Sarah Atwood), among others.
