In the early days of “Yellowstone,” when John Dutton’s (Kevin Costner) biggest problems were stolen cattle, land baron Dan Jenkins

(Danny Huston), and the occasional family squabble, everything seemed so simple. In the land disputes, though, the Dutton family has to

 

 

contend with the suits — like Alan Keene. Alan is a lawyer we see in Season 1, Episodes 1 and 3 — in fact, he’s the third character we see in

the show. In his first scene, he argues in court against Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), trying to break up the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. In

Episode 3, he returns to temper Dan Jenkins’ fiercer instincts, talking him down from seeking legal recourse after John moved a tributary to thwart Dan’s plans. Alan then tries to talk Dan out of flirting with John’s glass-shards-tornado of a daughter, Beth (Kelly Reilly). Dan doesn’t listen, of course.

So who is Alan? He’s a slick-haired suit, a slight but notable character among the sprawling Minnesota legal landscape. Those two episodes are his only ones — that’s all “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan wrote for Alan Keene. In his two scenes, though, Alan might look familiar to some — his actor has enjoyed a long career in film and television.
