Why Rowdy From Yellowstone Looks So Familiar

Kai Caster began his career as a child actor, landing his first screen credit in 2007 with an NBC pilot, "Backyards and Bullets," that evidently never made it to air (via Jahn Sood). Caster continued working though, even playing "Boy in Dress" for the DTV horror film "Children of the Corn: Genesis" (via IMDb). 

His role in a Season 12 "CSI" episode from 2011 suggested some real promise as a performer. Caster plays Declan Dempsey, a quiet child whose demeanor suggests abuse at the hands of his recently deceased father, Ryan (Erik Aude). The team investigates several murders, including Ryan's, while ultimately coming to a devastating conclusion about the real culprit.

The young actor had shown some dramatic chops, but still received background roles and small one-off parts on shows such as "New Girl." He also appeared on a Season Four episode of Showtime dramedy "Shameless."

In between movie roles, Caster popped up in a number of film shorts, including "Unbroken Angels" and "The Impossible Joy." His next television role would be small, but not insignificant.
