Cole Brings Plenty 1923 Tribute: Season 2 Premiere Honors Late Actor
Taylor Sheridan’s hit Western drama 1923 returned with its much-anticipated Season 2 premiere, now streaming on Paramount+. The episode features a heartfelt Cole Brings Plenty 1923 tribute, honoring the late actor who played Pete Plenty Clouds in Season 1. Brings Plenty, who passed away at 27, was set for an expanded role in the series. The tribute ensures his memory lives on in the Yellowstone universe.
Cole Brings Plenty, the nephew of Yellowstone star and Native American consultant Mo Brings Plenty, portrayed Pete Plenty Clouds, a sheepherder in 1923. Pete’s character was introduced in Season 1 alongside Teonna Rainwater, played by Aminah Nieves. His role in the series was set to expand significantly in Season 2, making his sudden passing a deep loss for the cast and crew.
In 1923 Season 1, Pete Plenty Clouds played a key role in Teonna Rainwater’s escape from the abusive Catholic boarding school in Montana. His character, along with Teonna and her father, Runs His Horse (played by Michael Spears), rode off together in the season finale, setting the stage for a compelling storyline in the upcoming episodes.
The Season 2 premiere of 1923 pays a heartfelt tribute to Cole Brings Plenty, featuring his image and name in an in memoriam segment that opens the episode. The dedication ensures that the late actor’s contribution is honored and remembered by fans of the Yellowstone prequel series.
Brings Plenty had been excited about the direction of his character in 1923 Season 2. Nieves recalled their conversations about the expanded role, which included a developing romance between their characters, Pete and Teonna.
“He was so excited, especially when he learned that he was going to be in almost every episode,” she said. “It was like, ‘Wait, you’re (like) my sister, and I’m your brother, which is kind of gross.’ But he loved it.”
His father, Joe Brings Plenty Sr., has been vocal about the need for further inquiries into his son’s passing. Speaking at the Red Nation Film Festival in November, he stated, “We want a full investigation. We are still fighting to find out what really happened.” The family has remained steadfast in seeking justice and answers.
Apart from his role in 1923, Brings Plenty appeared in television productions such as The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger and Into The Wild Frontier. His performances showcased his talent, dedication, and deep respect for Native American storytelling in Western dramas.
Chris McCarthy, the president and CEO of Paramount Media Networks, acknowledged Brings Plenty’s impact on the show during the 1923 premiere event. He noted that the actor’s family was present at the event and emphasized how much Cole was loved by the cast, crew, and fans.
Following Brings Plenty’s passing, the role of Pete Plenty Clouds in 1923 Season 2 has been recast. Actor Jeremy Guana now portrays the character, ensuring that Pete’s storyline continues.
Nieves expressed her full support for Guana, emphasizing that he was not only a talented actor but also a close friend of Brings Plenty.
“Jeremy did his absolute best to honor Coco in the biggest possible way,” she said.
While Guana now carries the role forward, the 1923 Season 2 premiere serves as a poignant reminder of Brings Plenty’s contributions to the series. The tribute ensures that fans will always remember his impact on the Yellowstone universe.
The Cole Brings Plenty 1923 tribute in the Season 2 premiere is a touching moment that highlights the actor’s lasting legacy. His role in 1923 was poised to be one of great significance, and his passing is a deep loss for the entertainment community.
Fans of the show and the Native American acting community continue to mourn his death while celebrating his achievements. Through the dedication in the Season 2 premiere, 1923 ensures that Cole Brings Plenty’s spirit and contributions to the Western drama will never be forgotten.
