His television appearances during this time included guest roles on "Rizzoli & Isles" (TNT, 2010-16) and "Without a Trace" (CBS, 2002-09).

He soon starred opposite Bill Paxton in the drama "Red Wing" (2013), moving him into the leading roles. He gained a wider audience when he joined the all-star ensemble cast of Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables 3" (2014). He began alternating small intimate features, such as the thriller "Wind Walkers" (2015), with big budget fare like "Ride Along 2" (2016), with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. He caught the attention of TV fans when he starred as arrogant frat boy Chad Radwell in Ryan Murphy's "Scream Queens" (Fox, 2015-16). Powell returned to his Texas roots to play a philosophical college baseball player in Richard Linklater's "Everybody Wants Some!" (2016). His hot streak continued with a small but memorable role as astronaut John Glenn in the Oscar-nominated "Hidden Figures" (2016). More prominent roles followed as he appeared with Henry Cavill in the military drama "Sand Castle" (2017) and starred in the indie dramedy "The Bad Guys" (2018). He next joined the ensemble cast of Mike Newell's "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" (2018). After joining Zoey Duetch for the streaming romance film "Set It Up" (Netflix, 2018), Powell found himself sharing the air with a Hollywood legend.

Clint Eastwood, a name synonymous with Hollywood's gritty charm and charisma, is celebrated for his remarkable contributions as an actor, filmmaker, musician, and political figure. Born on May 31, 1930 in San Francisco, California, Eastwood's journey to stardom began when he moved to Los Angeles in the 1950s. It was here that he broke into the entertainment industry, initially securing minor roles until he landed his breakthrough role as Rowdy Yates in the television series Rawhide. Eastwood's career took a monumental turn when he ventured into the Spaghetti Western genre under the direction of Sergio Leone. His iconic portrayal of the Man with No Name in films like A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly propelled him to international stardom. However, it was his role as Dirty Harry Callahan in the eponymous five-film series that solidified his status as a bona fide action star. His trademark squint and gravelly voice became cinematic staples, marking him as a symbol of rugged individualism. In addition to his acting career, Eastwood has also made significant contributions behind the camera. His directorial debut came in 1971 with Play Misty for Me, and he has since directed numerous acclaimed films, including Unforgiven, which won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Eastwood's influence extends beyond film and television; he served as the Mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California from 1986 to 1988, and his passion for music has seen him score several of his own films. Clint Eastwood's diverse talents and enduring appeal have made him a true icon of American cinema and culture.Plays: Kayce Dutton in Yellowstone

Cole Hauser was an American film and television actor who was best known for his roles in "School Ties" (1992), "Dazed and Confused" (1993) and "Good Will Hunting" (1997). Born into a show business family in Santa Barbara, California (one of his great grandfathers on his mom's side was Warner Bros. co-founder Harry Warner), Hauser practically had acting in his blood. It also helped that his mother ran a production company while his father was a working actor. His parents divorced when Cole was 2, and after moving around a lot with his mother, he spent a year living with his father, who taught him how to audition for film and TV parts. Hauser quickly became fascinated with acting and, at the age of 16, dropped out of high school to pursue acting full time. He landed his very first film role at the age of 17 in "School Ties." That movie also just happened to star Ben Affleck and Matt Damon - both of whom would go on to become lifelong friends with Hauser. After the success of "School Ties," Hauser went on to appear in several popular films of the 1990s, including "Dazed and Confused" and "Higher Learning" (1995). Then in 1997 he reteamed with Affleck and Damon by appearing alongside them both in "Good Will Hunting," which would earn both Damon and Affleck their first Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay. Hauser continued appearing in films and TV shows throughout the 2000s, most notably "Pitch Black" (2000), "2 Fast 2 Furious" (2003), and the Vince Vaughn comedy "The Break-Up" (2006). By the mid-2010s Hauser began appearing more regularly on TV. He nabbed recurring roles on "The Lizzie Borden Chronicles" (Lifetime, 2015) and "Rogue" (Audience, 2013-17), as well as the Paramount Network western "Yellowstone" (Paramount Network, 2018- ). "Yellowstone," which was created by Oscar-nominee Taylor Sheridan, co-starred Kevin Costner, premiered on the Paramount Network in June of 2018.Plays: Wyatt Earp in Wyatt Earp
