21.) Dawn Olivieri – Sarah Atwood
After Caroline Warner and Ellis Steele saw that Jamie Dutton could actually be used as an ally to them, they brought in Sarah Atwood to do the dirty work for them.
As one of the most cunning and manipulative characters in the entire show, Sarah ultimately brainwashed Jamie to hate his adopted family even further.
Sarah even went as far as to form a physical relationship with Jamie to truly influence him in the way that she wanted, and will likely be seen beside him as he continues to try to get John out of the picture.
22.) Lilli Kay – Clara Brewer
When John first met his personal assistant, Clara, after being sworn in as governor, he assumed the worst.
However, as Season 5 progressed, she not only proved herself to be a valuable asset to John politically but also in his personal life on the ranch.
Clara actually came down to the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch with John in Season 5, impressing everyone with her skills and willingness to work.
She will continue to be a massive help to John as he goes through his impeachment process in Season 5, Part 2.
23.) Josh Lucas – Young John Dutton
One of the biggest aspects of Season 5, Part 1 of Yellowstone was the use of flashbacks in order to bring the past to light for many of the series’ main characters.
Josh Lucas was given the incredibly difficult task of following in the footsteps of Kevin Costner by playing a younger version of John, but the actor really shined in the role and almost made it difficult to believe that he wasn’t actually John Dutton from the past.
The flashbacks that Lucas was featured in not only showed fans what John was like as a character but also how he brought Rip onto the ranch when he was just a boy.
24.) Kyle Red Silverstein – Young Rip
As previously mentioned, Season 5, Part 1 of Yellowstone really implemented flashbacks in a major way.
This included shedding more light on Rip’s troubled past, and the flashbacks eventually showed just how much the character cared about Beth even as a young boy when he killed another ranch hand for talking about Beth in a suggestive and highly disrespectful manner.
Rip ended up riding back to the lodge after this conflict occurred and told John the entire truth, probing to fans just why John is now so trusting of Rip.
It also gave viewers a front-row seat to see exactly why Rip was given the Yellowstone brand at such an early age.
25.) Kylie Rogers – Young Beth
Kylie Rogers is another actress who portrays the younger version of one of the show’s main characters – Beth.
Just as Kyle Red Silverstein did with the younger version of Rip, Rogers really took what Kelly Reilly did with Beth and ran with it, making every single viewer really believe that it is the same exact character.
In the Season 5 flashbacks fans get to see that a teenage Beth really isn’t different from the adult Beth when it comes to her fire and attitude.
26.) Jefferson White – Jimmy Hurdstrom
Jimmy was introduced in the very first episode of Yellowstone as a troublemaker that seemed to be walking down the wrong path.
After Rip pulled him away and brought him to the ranch, however, he became a fan favorite and learned how to be one of the best cowboys in the state of Montana, and even learned the proper skills to show off at the rodeo.
Unfortunately, an accident left Jimmy in the hospital for quite a while, and as punishment, John sent him to the 6666 Ranch in Texas to whip him into shape.
After he returned a changed man he asked John if he could permanently move to the Texas ranch and John granted his wish due to the true character change he saw in Jimmy.
Jimmy only appeared one time in Season 5 during the mid-season finale when he showed up as a surprise cameo alongside his wife, Emily.
Since some of the ranch hands are traveling down to Texas he will likely make at least one more appearance in Part 2, and fans may even see him in a spin-off series at some point down the road.
27.) Kathryn Kelly – Emily
Emily was introduced on Yellowstone when Jimmy first went down to the 6666 Ranch as his punishment from John.
She and Jimmy met when she was at the ranch doing some veterinary work and the two instantly fell for each other.
Kelly made a cameo appearance as Emily in Part 1 of Season 5 and was seen with Jimmy during the mid-season finale.
