Actor Cole Brings Plenty, known for his role in the “Yellowstone” spinoff “1923,” was found dead in a wooded area near the city of Edgerton after being reported missing following a domestic violence incident. His body was discovered by authorities responding to an unoccupied car found nearby. No further details regarding his death were provided, and authorities had been searching for him since Sunday when he was reported missing.
According to a police report obtained by The Post, Cole was cited for aggravated domestic battery and aggravated burglary in connection with the alleged domestic violence incident. His family reported him missing, and his manager stated that there was no concrete evidence that he was on the run. Cole’s uncle is Mo Brings Plenty, a star of “Yellowstone.” He failed to show up for an audition on Monday morning following his disappearance, and the last time he was seen was in the early morning hours on Sunday.
Cole had a brief role in the first season of “1923” and appeared in episodes 7 and 8. Additionally, he had roles in other TV series such as “Into the Wild Frontier” and “The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger.” Filming for the second season of “1923” had already begun earlier in the year, but it is uncertain if Cole was set to return to the show. His manager emphasized the need to allow the legal system to determine truth and justice, reminding that assigning guilt based on someone being missing is not helpful to either party or the due process that everyone is entitled to.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office reported that Cole’s body was found in a wooded area near Edgerton, where he had been reported missing following the domestic violence dispute. No conclusive details regarding the circumstances of his death were available. Authorities discovered his body while responding to an unoccupied car, and they had been looking for him since he went missing on Sunday. Cole’s manager had no information about his whereabouts and stated that there was no clear evidence he was trying to flee.
The police report cited Cole for aggravated domestic battery and aggravated burglary in relation to the domestic violence incident. His uncle Mo Brings Plenty, who stars in “Yellowstone,” was related to Cole. Despite his disappearance, Cole’s professional commitments were reportedly being fulfilled, including an audition for an upcoming film project. The last sighting of Cole was in the early morning hours on Sunday, according to a missing persons poster disseminated following his disappearance.
His participation in the second season of “1923” remained uncertain due to his unexpected death. The show had started filming earlier in the year, but it was unclear if Cole was slated to reprise his role. His manager urged caution in assuming guilt before the legal system had a chance to determine the truth. Cole’s tragic death marked the loss of a young actor with a promising career, as he had appeared in multiple TV series, including a notable role in “Yellowstone” and its spinoff.
