Yellowstone is a popular melodrama series that has made its way around the world and fans in the US are eagerly awaiting season four. The series follows the Dutton family, who are risking everything to protect their beloved Yellowstone ranch from being passed into the wrong hands. Fans are keen to know who plays Walker in Yellowstone, and Express.co.uk has everything you need to know.
Walker is an ex-convict who was set on a path to redemption after he was given a second chance at life by John Dutton and his family (played by Kevin Costner).
John's right-hand man, Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) was the one to give Walker a chance and take him on as a new ranch hand.
However, Rip learned he may have made the wrong decision after he and Walker clash in an argument further down the line.
Walker was introduced to the series in the middle of the first season, and he has since starred in a total of 12 episodes across three seasons.
The character is played by Ryan Bingham, an American singer and songwriter based in LA, and fans were surprised acting was not Bingham's day job.
In the series Bingham's character Walker is heard singing the song, so fans will be interested to hear it was actually one of his original tracks.
In April 2019 he helped launch his own music festival called The Western, and the event took place in Texas across two days.
The star is best known for his music, but he has also taken on roles in the films Your Right Mind and Hostiles.
In an interview with PopCulture.com, Bingham revealed how the show's creator, Taylor Sheridan, heard about his experience with rodeo and just had to write him into the show.
He said Sheridan had been in touch about writing songs for some of his films, including the Yellowstone series, and when he found out about Bingham's past he invited him to take part as a regular character.
In an interview with Paramount Network Bingham said: "Originally when I was approached about the show, it was mainly about the music.
"I had met Taylor, we had hit it off and kind of became friends, and Taylor found out that I come from a ranching family in New Mexico and grew up riding horses and things like that.
"We got to talking and he was just like, 'Man I want you to come in and read for something'. I read for a part and a couple of days later Taylor called me on the phone and he's like 'I don't know what I'm going to do but I'm going to write you a part'.
"Sheridan vowed that if Bingham's performance was good enough, he would continue to write his story for the series.
Fans were delighted with the character, with one saying on Twitter: "Walker from Yellowstone earned his brand and the right to keep it."
Another fan said: "Okay I already loved @RyanBingham enough but him as Walker...Yellowstone you won me over."
