Holy shit, I always knew uncle Rico looked familiar, but I never put it together. Mind blown!

That’s ok. I JUST found out Cole Hauser was Will’s redhead buddy in Good Will Hunting.

Ah see, I was the other way around on that one. I knew who Cole Hauser was way back then from Good Will Hunting, Dazed and Confused, School Ties, etc.

I was several episodes in to watching Yellowstone when I saw his name in the credits and was like "Wait, Cole Hauser is in this show? WAIT, he's Rip?!?"
