No wonder Cole Hauser always has a toothpick in his mouth. To play Rip, Taylor Sheridan made him make a chilling sacrifice. In the show, Hauser often has a toothpick dangling from his lips. Many assume it's just for cleaning tea, but that's not the case. After taking the role, Cole deeply researched Rip's image and ultimately used the toothpick to enhance the character's casual ruggedness. But Sheridan thought that was far from a nut. Cole was previously a handsome, lanky redhead who had appeared in two fast, two furious. To build Rip's tough guy image, Sheridan demanded he bulk up wildly, with his weight eventually ballooning to 230 pounds. Even more harshly because Beth was also a redhead, Sheridan felt the two looked like siblings, and forcibly required him to dye his hair black. Beyond that, Rip is an excellent cowboy, which meant Cole had to adapt to life on horseback. Sheridan demanded he train ten hours a day, resulting in a severe ankle injury that left him relying on boots for support ever since. These sacrifices transformed Cole beyond recognition, yet they made Rip iconic. Do you think it was worth it?
