Meet ‘The Madison’ Family’s Cast and Characters
Get ready to sketch out a family tree. There WILL be a quiz later.
Taylor Sheridan is at it again with a new Western series. This one is not connected to Yellowstone in any way. But the star quality rivals the popular series and its spin-offs. Here’s what you need to know about the very impressive and very blonde cast of The Madison on Paramount+.
The Madison follows a family of city folk who relocate to rural Montana following a tragic event. There are a lot of siblings and sons-in-laws to keep track of on this show. It’s like Succession or Game of Thrones meets wide open spaces. Truly, though, the series has attracted an impressive ensemble. That’s not a joke! Many of them have lead their own shows and received nominations for major acting awards. This bench is stacked! You’ll even see comedian and actor Will Arnett in a guest role as Dr. Phil Yorn in a few episodes this season.
Michelle Pfeiffer plays Stacy Clyburn
Sally is the matriarch of the Clyburn family and Preston's wife.
Pfeiffer, star of Grease 2, is a three-time Academy Award nominee for Love Field, The Fabulous Baker Boys, and Dangerous Liaisons. If you haven’t seen her in Martin Scorcese’s Edith Wharton adaptation of The Age of Innocence what are you doing with your life? The same goes for Hairspray, TBH, though that’s a very different film. Pfeiffer doesn’t dip into television too often, but did play Betty Ford in the limited series The First Lady. She was friggin’ Catwoman, too. Where do you begin and where do you stop??
Kurt Russell plays Preston Clyburn
Preston is Stacy's husband and the patriarch of the Clyburn family.
Russell is an Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor best known, of course, for Escape from New York, Silkwood, The Hateful Eight, and The Thing. Younger audiences might know his as literal Santa Claus thanks to The Christmas Chronicles or as Starlord’s dad in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2.
Matthew Fox plays Paul Clyburn
Paul is Preston's brother and therefore Stacy's brother in-law.
Fox played the de factor protagonist, Jack, on the long-running science fiction survival series Lost. He was nominated for a Primetime Emmy in 2010. Prior to that, he was the guy from Party of Five. His film roles include We Are Marshall, Speed Racer, Alex Cross, Vantage Point, and World War Z.
Elle Chapman plays Paige McIntosh
Paige is Stacy and Preston's younger daughter and Russell's wife.
Chapman is a relative newcomer whose credits include several short films and music videos as well as the Tom Hanks vehicle A Man Called Otto.

Patrick J. Adams plays Russell McIntosh
Russell is Paige's husband and Stacy and Preston's son-in-law.
Adams was the hero, basically, on the long-running series Suits. He was nominated for an “Actor Award” (SAG Award) for his performance in 2012. He played astronaut John Glenn on The Right Stuff, and had recurring roles on Sneaky Pete and the tragically canceled A League of Their Own series. He once fanboyed his way into a two-episode guest arc on Orphan Black. Dreams do come true!

Ben Schnetzer plays Van Davis
Van Davis is a local sheriff.
Schnetzer played the titular role in the canceled-too-soon post-apocalyptic comic book adaptation of Y: The Last Man on Hulu. Back in 2014, he starred in two very different British films with cult followings, Pride and The Riot Club. Other films you might recognize him from include Warcraft, Snowden, and The Book Thief.

Kevin Zegers plays Cade Harris
Cade is Stacy and Preston's neighbor.
Now, I know Zegers best as Ben in the Felicity: An American Girl Adventure movie. But I can’t imagine that applies to everyone... right? He was also the (human) lead of Air Bud. He played Damien on Gossip Girl and Toby on Transamerica. Other shows and movies you might know him from include The Rookie: Feds, Fear The Walking Dead, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and The Jane Austen Book Club.

Danielle Vasinova plays Kestrel Harris
Kestrel is Cade’s wife.
You’ve seen Vasinova before in another Sheridan project, 1923, as well as The Bay. She played Maeve Summerhill and also produced that series. Other credits over the years include The Young and The Restless, Nip/Tuck, Dexter, and even Friends!

Rebecca Spence plays Liliana Weeks
Liliana is Stacy's very stylish friend.
Spence starred in the 2017 film Princess Cyd, as well as Earthling, Candy Man, and Contagion. Her television credits include appearances on Power Book IV: Force, 61st Street, Eutopia, and Easy.
