Who is Cole Hauser?
Rip Wheeler
Cole Kenneth Hauser was born on March 22, 1975. He is a well-known American actor, best remembered for his appearances in the films Paparazzi’ and ‘The Cave.’
Hauser was destined for a career in the film industry since he hailed from a family of filmmakers. Cole was introduced to the entertainment industry at a young age as the great-grandson of Warner Bros. Studio co-founder Harry Warner and the grandchild of famed screenwriter Dwight Hauser.
Cole may portray a cowboy on TV, but his musical tastes are firmly rooted in Southern Blues. Cole’s first CD purchase with his own money was Stevie Ray Vaughn’s The Sky Is Crying, an album he still enjoys today.
In Grade 10, he left high school to consider a career in acting. Cole will be the first to tell you that this is not a route he recommends or supports. Fortunately for him, he was able to find employment as an actor and transform a serendipitous opportunity into a successful profession.
Cole was punished on a weekly basis as a child. In his childhood, he was a real troublemaker, according to Cole. Cole responded, “Throwing rotting avocados at vehicles,” when asked to identify the craziest thing he’d ever done to become grounded.
Cole Hauser Family
Cole Hauser and Cynthia Daniel
As much as Yellowstone fans like Rip’s on-screen romance with Beth Dutton, their relationship is strictly for the cameras. Cole is happily married to Cynthia Daniel, a skilled photographer and former actress who was best known for her part in Sweet Valley High in the late 1990s.
The couple married in 2006 and routinely share photos of their adorable connection on social media. Cole and his wife have three children: Ryland, 16, Colt, 12, and Steely Rose, 8. Despite his hectic schedule, Cole appears to have a strong bond with his boys and daughter.
The actor frequently posts photographs and videos of himself enjoying time with his family, both at home and on the road.
Cole Hauser Dad
Wings Hauser
Cole is a Hollywood legend who followed in his renowned father’s footsteps. Wings Hauser, an award-winning artist, and showrunner has appeared in scores of films.
Tough Guys Don’t Dance, Vice Squad, The Young and the Restless, Deadly Force, and Tales From the Hood are among Wings’ most notable films. The 73-year-old, like his son, was renowned for wearing many hats but he gained fame for taking on over-the-top action roles.
Cole Hauser Movies and TV Shows
The Last Champion
While it’s difficult to identify Rip without his shaggy facial hair, you’ve probably seen him before watching Yellowstone. Cole made his film debut as Benny in Dazed and Confused, with Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, and the rest of the iconic adolescent film’s star-studded ensemble. Higher Learning, School Ties, Good Will Hunting, Pitch Black, Tigerland, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and The Break-Up are among Cole’s other cinematic credits.
Over the years, the skilled actor has performed a variety of roles in cinema and television, featuring cowboys, cops, and everything in between. Cole was most recently seen as a wrestling pro in The Last Champion, a moving sports drama about a former athlete seeking forgiveness after being stolen off his Olympic title.

Good Will Hunting Cast
Will’s circle of pals consists of four persons. There’s Will, Chuckie (played by Ben Affleck’s hair), Morgan (played by Casey Affleck), and Billy (played by Cole Hauser). Cole’s Billy, who is silent, furious, and scary, is the most terrifying of the four. We would want to see a Billy spinoff. When he wasn’t with the other three, he seemed to be into some wicked stuff.
Here is one of the most famous clips of Good Will Hunting for some fun!
