The “Yellowstone” prequel series “1923” at Paramount+ has added three actors in recurring roles, Variety has learned exclusively.

The trio joins an expansive ensemble cast that includes stars like Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Brandon Sklenar, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, and Jerome Flynn.
As the title suggests, the newest prequel series will explore more of the early history of the Yellowstone ranch and the Dutton family.
Stormare (“Fargo,” “The Big Lebowski,” “Armageddon”) will play Lucca, described as “a weathered but wise sailor, tanned from decades on the ocean, his accent a soup of a thousand dialects.”
