Piper first joined the cast of Yellowstone in Season 4, but before that, she had a long career on both film and TV. Her movie credits include Cheaper by the Dozen, Looper, The Prestige, and Angel Has Fallen. On the small screen, she's likely best known for her starring role in the USA series Covert Affairs, but she also had significant roles in Turn Up Charlie and Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.
Piper has been praised frequently throughout her career for her fiery performances and charisma, and now she's bringing all of that intensity to Yellowstone.
Piper grew up in New Jersey, and she was named after actress Piper Laurie. She became an actress after she was spotted by a casting agent as she was accompanying her boyfriend to an audition. While she wasn't ultimately cast in the role, she did wind up with an agent after the audition.
Now, decades later, Piper has found herself on one of the biggest TV shows in the world, and she may just wind up being the love interest that John Dutton fans have long been searching for. It's unclear how big Piper's role on Yellowstone will be moving forward, but for now, it seems like she's crucial to the events of the series.
