Cast

Alec Baldwin by Gage Skidmore
Alec Baldwin stars as Harland Rust.
  • Alec Baldwin as Harland Rust, an elderly outlaw
  • Patrick Scott McDermott as Lucas Hollister, Rust's grandson. Brady Noon was originally cast as Lucas but when production was delayed for over a year, his other commitments made him unable to re-commit to the role.
  • Travis Fimmel as Fenton "Preacher" Lang, a bounty hunter after Rust
  • Frances Fisher as Lucas' grandaunt
  • Jake Busey as Drum Parker
  • Josh Hopkins as Wood Helm, a sheriff. Jensen Ackles was originally cast as Helm before being replaced by Hopkins, because the delayed production caused scheduling conflicts.
  • Devon Werkheiser as Boone LaFontaine
