Cole Brings Plenty Dead: ‘1923’ Actor Was 27

Cole Brings Plenty, an actor in Paramount+’s 1923 who was reported missing earlier this week, has died. He was 27.

The sheriff’s office in Johnson County, Kansas, shared in a news release that deputies were called to Homestead Lane at approximately 11:45 a.m. Friday in reference to an unoccupied vehicle. Authorities searched the area and said they “discovered a deceased male in a wooded area away from the vehicle,” who was later identified as Cole.

A cause of death was not immediately available, but the sheriff’s office said it was an ongoing investigation.

On Tuesday, Cole’s uncle Mo Brings Plenty, who also stars in Yellowstone, took to Instagram to ask the public for assistance finding the actor who hadn’t been seen since Sunday in Kansas. The Lawrence Police Department confirmed that he was wanted following an alleged domestic violence incident on March 31.

According to police, officers responded to reports of a female screaming for help on Sunday at an apartment but before they arrived at the scene the suspect had fled on foot. Authorities said traffic cameras identified Cole as the fleeing suspect, which led police to submit an affidavit to the local district attorney for the arrest of Cole following the incident. “We’ve identified him as the suspect, have probable cause for his arrest, and issued an alert to area agencies,” the Lawrence Police Department wrote in a release on Tuesday.

Authorities in Lawrence have since updated that they’re also at the scene in Johnson County “supporting family and investigators” following Cole’s death.

Cole appeared in two episodes of the Yellowstone prequel series 1923, as well as in the shows Into the Wild Frontier and The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger.
