Dan Jenkins

Dan Jenkins runs a land development outfit with its eye on Paradise Valley, and he arrives smiling, expensive, and utterly certain that the Duttons' ranch is just acreage waiting to be monetized. He talks partnership and progress while quietly working every angle to get what he wants.

Danny Huston plays him as a man who genuinely believes he's the reasonable one in the room, which is scarier than outright menace. The writing gives him real leverage against the Duttons early on, and Huston's oily, unbothered charm makes him a rival worth despising rather than dismissing.
