Sterlin English is used to seeing his name at the pay window. Now it shows up in the cast list of Taylor Sheridan's newest project.The team roper plays Austin Lewis on "The Dutton Ranch," the latest Yellowstone spinoff. The first two episodes dropped early May 15 on Paramount+, with new episodes streaming weekly for the next seven weeks.English, who won the US Finals in 2015 at 12 with his father, booked the role right before winning the Riata Championships in 2025. He flew from set to Guthrie, Oklahoma, came back from the 30th call-back in the #14.5 with Miles Baker and won more than $17,400. He won the #12.5 with Trey Southern the same week and picked up the 6-and-under bonus on Shiney Lil Peso.He filmed for roughly six months opposite Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly, Annette Bening and Juan Pablo Raba.The door opened early. English's father once ran a ranch for actor Kiefer Sutherland and worked on "The Cowboy Way." Stunt coordinator Chris Howell gave English his first SAG gig. Stunt work, MMA training with Clint Roberts and a stretch crashing at Chad Daschenau's place in California built the foundation. COVID-era self-tapes brought a manager, agents and eventually the Sheridan audition.He is not chasing the NFR. He plans to keep jackpotting—the Riata, the World Series of Team Roping Finale—while taking on more film and television work. He proposed to his fiancée, Jayden, on the New York premiere trip after sprinting through DFW with 60 seconds to spare.His gear stayed his own on set: Cactus Thriller head ropes, Resistol hat, Wrangler shirts, his own boots. But his famous lucky pair with the holes did not make the wardrobe cut.Hit play for the full conversation.---This episode is brought to you by The Dead Horse Ranch.
