Cole Hauser played the beloved Rip Wheeler on the hit TV show Yellowstone, which wrapped its final season in 2024, and although he made waves on his own, fame is not new to Cole. His parents are Hollywood royalty and famous in their own right as well. Cole is the son of Wings Hauser and Cass Warner and has a total of four siblings.
Who Is Cole Hauser’s Real Dad?
Gerald Dwight “Wings” Hauser was Cole’s father, who welcomed his son with his then-wife Cass back in 1975. Wings was born on December 12, 1947, in Hollywood, California, and became one of the most prolific character actors of his era, breaking out as the villain Ramrod in the 1982 cult classic Vice Squad.
Wings appeared in more than 100 films and shows over his six-decade career, including The Insider, Rubber, and Roseanne. He shared the screen with some of the most iconic actors in the industry, including Al Pacino and Russell Crowe, and earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his role in the 1987 film Tough Guys Don’t Dance.
Wings died on March 15, 2025, at 77, of natural causes, his wife, Cali Lili Hauser, confirmed to Variety. In a touching statement, she shared:
“Movie icon Wings Hauser took flight in the arms of his film and music partner.”
Who Is Cole Hauser’s Mother?
Cole’s mom is the filmmaker Cass Warner, who has been in the industry almost her whole life. Cass was exposed to the business of Hollywood and movies as a child as she is a third generation filmmaker.
Her IMDb boasts over 16 credits in different categories from producer to actress across the board. She is mainly credited as a producer, writer, and director on the site. In 2007, she directed and wrote the documentary The Brothers Warner about her family, including her grandfather Harry Warner. Harry was one of the founders of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. back in 1923.
Later in 2008, Cass was nominated for a Video Source Award for the documentary about the famous Warner brothers.
Who Are Cole Hauser’s Siblings?
The famous Hauser and Warner family is not a small one either. Cole has a total of four siblings, including Bright Hauser, Wings’ daughter from a previous marriage.
Cass had three other children, Tao Gaines, Jesse Pool, and Vanessa Mooney. The details on who their fathers are is not something the family has shared, as Cass’ private life is kept mostly under wraps.
