Kevin Costner stars as John Dutton, the powerful patriarch of a family of ranchers, in the new Paramount Television drama series Yellowstone. Dutton controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States but constantly plays a vicious and tricky game to maintain control over conflicting interests with politicians, oil and lumber corporations, and the Native American reservation that borders his land.

Kevin Costner told HFPA members Silvia Bizio and Mirai Konishi how his personal love of the land inspired him to take on this role in this exclusive interview.
