1923 pays tribute to Cole Brings Plenty following actor's death aged 27
The actor – who played Pete Plenty Clouds in the Yellowstone spin-off – died in April 2024.
The first episode of 1923's second season began with a tribute to late star Cole Brings Plenty, who died last April aged 27.
Brings Plenty had appeared in two episodes of the first season of the show, playing the role of sheepherder Pete Plenty Clouds, and had been expected to play a larger role in the second season.
The character appeared in the first episode of the new run, now played by American Primeval's Jeremy Gauna.
The late actor – who was the nephew of Yellowstone star Moses Brings Plenty – went missing last year shortly after he was named as a suspect by the Lawrence Kansas Police Department as part of a domestic violence investigation.
A police statement later read that he had been found dead in a wooded area close to an unoccupied vehicle. No cause of death was given.
At the time, his father Joseph Brings Plenty Sr released a statement which read: "During this incredibly difficult time, we ask for privacy as we process our grief and figure out how we move forward.
"Please know we appreciate you and appreciate your understanding."

In addition to his role on 1923, Brings Plenty's other credits included four episodes of Into the Wild Frontier and one of The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger.
The first season of 1923 aired in late 2022, and the new outing will be the final run of the Yellowstone prequel.
Speaking recently to RadioTimes.com for an exclusive interview, star Timothy Dalton explained that he was sad to see the series end, but reassured fans that he's "pleased" with final episodes.
"I think we've done it very well," he explained. "It's an epic piece. There are so many stories happening, wonderful stories that are coming together in a great way."
