\n\tMo Brings Plenty, an enrolled member of the Lakota Nations, was frustrated with the cultural misapp<\/a>ropriation that he saw onscreen until Yellowstone<\/em> came along. Thanks to a collaboration with prolific hit-maker Taylor Sheridan, not only did Plenty land a role in the mega-hit series<\/a> as the right-hand man to Broken Rock Tribe chief Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), he was also hired behind the scenes as the show\u2019s American Indian Affairs coordinator. And it\u2019s a role he\u2019s now continuing on the CBS Yellowstone<\/em> spinoff Marshals<\/em>, which follows Kayce Dutton (played by Luke Grimes).<\/p>\n

\n\tMarshals<\/em> has become a huge success for the network, repeating as the top series \u2014 network or streaming\u00a0\u2014 two weeks in a row. Below, when chatting about Sunday\u2019s fourth episode of the hit season (it\u2019s already been renewed for season two), Plenty speaks with The Hollywood Reporter <\/em>about both his onscreen role \u2014 as Mo (also the name of his character) \u2014 and the authentic input he gave behind the scenes in season one.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe also opens up, for the first time in an interview, about the untimely death of his nephew, Cole Brings Plenty, a star in the Yellowstone-verse who was found dead between seasons one and two of the prequel series 1923<\/em>. \u201cFor his murder to go uninvestigated, and for it to be written off as \u2018no foul play,\u2019 because they didn\u2019t want to invest anything into it? It\u2019s heartbreaking,\u201d he says. \u201cWe\u2019re not letting it go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen were you first approached about being a part of Marshals<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI received a call from my team, and I said, \u201cAbsolutely. If Luke [Grimes] and Gil [Birmingham] are involved, I\u2019m in.\u201d It was an easy yes to carry on these characters. These are such iconic characters and I so desired to carry them on. I was kind of sad when we were finishing up Yellowstone<\/em>. Those were some amazing guys. And then all of a sudden, here we are. We\u2019re back. It was just great news<\/a> to me. I was doing cartwheels in my mind and a happy dance that I would not want the world to see (laughs<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\n\tWe spoke to star Luke Grimes and your showrunner Spencer Hudnut about how they had to find the right way to reopen Kayce Dutton\u2019s story since Yellowstone<\/em> gave him such a beautiful ending, especially involving your character with the Duttons giving the land back to the Broken Rock Reservation. Did you have any hesitations about revisiting that ending?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI didn\u2019t have any reservations, especially knowing that Luke was going to be involved, and Gil. Obviously, Luke isn\u2019t going to just sign up for something that wasn\u2019t going to be good for those characters, and Spencer too. Getting the opportunity to work with him, I can\u2019t say enough good things about him. It\u2019s like I never left. It\u2019s like being back home. I\u2019m just so thankful for this opportunity to carry him on.<\/p>\n

\n\tHow did you react when you found out that the hook to the show would be that Monica Dutton [Kayce\u2019s wife, played by Kelsey Asbille] dies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tBoy. At first, I was like, \u201cWhy?!\u201d Because that was our connection to the Duttons. There\u2019s always been a connection between the Dutton family and Broken Rock, but Monica was more of a connection. So to lose that, at first, my reaction was like, \u201cNo.\u201d But we gotta tell a story. And the blessing of that occurring is that Kayce has to fill that void now. So that connection is still there. Not just for the fact that Rainwater adopted and took him in as a brother, but I think the warriors that Mo and Kayce are, that brotherhood has always been there, but it\u2019s become even stronger.<\/p>\n

\n\tThey could have continued this story without Broken Rock. How happy are you that they went this way?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m ecstatic. I\u2019m so extremely grateful that they didn\u2019t leave Broken Rock out of it, and that they didn\u2019t leave Indian Country out of it. They could do whatever they want. But if you want layers and diversity, what better way than to incorporate the original inhabitants?<\/p>\n

\n\tSpencer said that Kelsey Asbille wasn\u2019t available for Marshals<\/em>, so he wasn\u2019t involved in the conversations about her not being a part of the show. Have you spoken to her at all?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYou know, no. I haven\u2019t spoken to her. I thought about reaching out to her at the very beginning. But that was before I found out [the plot]. I just left it alone. I mind my business and do my job to the best of my abilities.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpencer said Monica\u2019s death, obviously, serves two purposes. It\u2019s the hook for the show, but it also shines a light on something real happening on reservations. Did you have any input in this storyline, or did they come to you with this idea? [Note: Monica died after battling cancer due to toxic levels in the water on the reservation.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThis was already there. And I\u2019m glad we\u2019re going to be able to bring this to light, not just with the reservation, but water is life for everyone. And when I say \u201ceveryone,\u201d I\u2019m talking from the vegetation all the way to the human race. I\u2019m thankful that we\u2019re bringing this to light.<\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m sure you were thrilled that Mo would be a character on the show. When they said, \u201cWe also want you behind the scenes to help us keep telling res stories,\u201d how did that conversation go? Was their goal to continue what Taylor Sheridan had started with Yellowstone<\/em> in that respect?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m so filled with gratitude for the opportunity, not just to carry on the role of Mo, but to be able to continue on in the American Indian Affairs coordinator role, and have input in storylines. There was a time when our ceremonies were never hidden. It wasn\u2019t until they were banned that they went into hiding. And then in 1976, when President Jimmy Carter signed the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, it gave us the ability to practice our ceremonial ways again. It\u2019s been trying over the years to allow that part to exist in everyday life. Now we\u2019re bringing different elements to the forefront and showing the world that we, as American Indian people, still have our traditional ways. We still have our way of prayer. We still have different things we can do to help us through grieving and through different aspects that continue to inspire.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpencer said the mine story will continue throughout the season, and that there will be other episodes, including when children go missing from reservations. What were some storylines you contributed to or authentic changes you made?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI contributed to a particular moment in the grieving process for [Monica] for Kayce and [son] Tate. I contributed, along with my younger brother, in providing a moment. It hasn\u2019t aired yet, so I don\u2019t want to describe it yet. It\u2019s a beautiful moment. So to be able to contribute in that way \u2014\u00a0even in songs. My brother composes a lot of the songs that we utilize not just in Yellowstone<\/em>, but also on Marshals<\/em>, that fit a particular scene that we\u2019re going. To be able to carry that on is so important. I\u2019m thankful to Spencer, who\u2019s open and understanding. It\u2019s like working with Taylor again. Spencer and I are kicking around ideas that I don\u2019t even want to reveal yet. But there are going to be some beautiful things coming up.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis week\u2019s episode introduces a possible romantic interest for Kayce. Spencer hinted about exploring new relationships with Kayce as the season moves on. How will the show, even as it goes on to season two, continue to honor what Monica and Kayce had as such a core Yellowstone<\/em> couple?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWhat Kayce and Monica had, that relationship, is going to be carried on. That relationship existed so strongly. It wasn\u2019t just about a husband and wife. It was also a relationship between the Duttons and Broken Rock. I feel that Rianwater and Mo are going to be able to carry on that relationship and build upon what they have established. Monica was a strong warrior. She made great sacrifices to protect people. Even jumping back to Yellowstone<\/em> with the individual who was the rapist, Monica set that up. She was the bait, so to speak, and was able to help seize that individual. The spirit of her is always going to remain.<\/p>\n

\n\tYellowstone<\/em> skeletons haunt Kayce. The sins of his family have been a big part of these first episodes. Spencer said Yellowstone<\/em> will continue to be a part of this show. How would you say the Dutton name continues to loom over Kayce, or will he be able to get out from the shadow?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI think Kayce is such an amazing individual that the Dutton family will end up existing within his shadow. I believe he will crawl out from underneath the shadow of his family, and he will cast his own shadow. He\u2019s a strong individual, a great warrior. Bottom line. But he thinks differently. He has a different mind. And so\u00a0I believe he\u2019s going to be able to cast his own place so that will no longer be in the Dutton family shadow.<\/p>\n

\n\tHow big a role will Mo have as the season goes on? Anything you can tease?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tPeople are going to get to see a little bit more of who my character is. Just about who he is to the people, to Broken Rock. We filmed the first season. I have no idea [beyond season one]. It\u2019s entirely up to the writers. I would like to hope that the character will grow some more. I respect every decision that is made, and I respect the story. It\u2019s about the audience. It\u2019s not about my character.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tCole Brings Plenty as Pete Plenty Clouds in season one of 1923<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEmerson Miller\/Paramount+<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tI was so sorry to hear about your nephew, Cole Brings Plenty [who died in 2024 at age 27], and I want to share my condolences with you and your family. He had such a beautiful role in 1923<\/em>. Is there anything you\u2019d want to say to pay tribute to him?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tAbsolutely. He was our future. He knew our ceremonies. I was teaching him more and more, so was my brother, his father. He was my nephew, but he was like a son to me. And for his murder to go uninvestigated, and for it to be written off as \u201cno foul play,\u201d because they didn\u2019t want to invest anything into it? It\u2019s heartbreaking. Because we\u2019re taxpaying people as well. So for them to not work for us, no different than how they work for anyone else is, is pretty sad.<\/p>\n

\n\tI hope that we continue on to talk about that in our storylines \u2014 that there are a lot of families such as mine that are going through this right now, and we still have a lot of unanswered questions. Because I saw his body, I saw the evidence that is there that someone caught him. So for them to say that there was nothing, I can\u2019t believe that. I still can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\n\tI didn\u2019t know that. There hasn\u2019t been much released about that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThe departments didn\u2019t put much effort into it. In fact, they weren\u2019t even really looking for him. They were hunting him. They weren\u2019t searching for him. They were hunting him until the day when a good friend of mine and I rented a helicopter and told the Lawrence Police Department [in Kansas] that we were going to go and search from the air, and that day, they were out in full force.<\/p>\n

\n\tIs there anything you\u2019re still doing to bring him some justice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tJust spread the message. We\u2019ve been in talks with several different people. We\u2019re not letting it go. It was a hard loss for us because this was an individual who was speaking our language, singing our songs and carrying on our traditions. He was the future for us. We want more and more of our young people to be inspired to pick up who we are from a cultural perspective.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou have a large audience on Marshals<\/em>. I\u2019m sure you saw the ratings and the early renewal. Will you feed some of this into the storylines?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI hope so. We\u2019ve kind of already touched on it, and if it weren\u2019t for Kayce being with the U.S. Marshals, it just goes to show the importance of working together. And how vital that is and how meaningful, and how helpful that would be to the families.<\/p>\n

\n\tTaylor Sheridan has created a large platform for these stories to be told. Since you\u2019ve been in this role since Yellowstone<\/em> started, do you feel like you\u2019ve seen more or less of others doing similarly? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI think Taylor was a catalyst to more people having the courage to tell those stories. And so I\u2019m thankful for that.<\/p>\n
