Timothy Olyphant as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens in Justified: City Primeval
The Western genre used to be defined by larger-than-life performers who frequently worked in the genre. James Stewart, John Wayne, William Holden, and Gary Cooper among others did so many western films that their names became synonymous with the genre itself. While the sheer amount of excellent western content has declined significantly over the course of the past few decades, Timothy Olyphant has been involved in many great western movies and television shows.
The Book of Boba Fett TV-14 Sci-FiActionAdventure Release Date 2021-12-00 Creator Jon Favreau Cast Temuera Morrison , Ming-Na Wen Main Genre Sci-Fi Seasons 1 Watch on Disney+ 6 ‘Rango’ Appeared as The Spirit of the West Rangois a very unusual Western animated comedy that managed to get surprisingly mature for a family film. While Johnny Depp voiced the titular character of Rango, a chameleon who serves as a nameless drifter and eventual hero, Olyphant lent his voice to the mysterious “Spirit of the West.
“The Marshall” is one of the best episodes of The Mandalorian thanks to the charisma that Olyphant brought to his performance. The show has not been aging well due to the unnecessary connections it bridges to other Star Wars television projects, but there’s the potential for the series to redeem itself if Olyphant managed to reprise his role in the near future.
Olyphant showed self-awareness with his performance on Fargo, indicating that he was interested in subverting expectations about what type of Western character he could play. While it was a role that was certainly more entertaining for those that were already familiar with his work on Justified, Fargo still allowed Olphant to flex the comedian muscles that had always made him such an interesting icon of the western genre.
It was interesting to see Olyphant play an older, grizzled version of Bullock who had grown much more cynical in the years since his last adventures in the Deadwood territory. Seeing him reunite with Al was a treat, as their dynamic had always been one of the show’s most fascinating. While it certainly would be interesting to see Deadwood continue on in one form or another, Deadwood: The Movie was about as perfect of a conclusion as fans could ask for.
Olyphant is perfectly cast as a famous Western star whose reputation speaks for itself. In a film that relies more on dialogue than it does on action, Olyphant has terrific comedic chemistry with DiCaprio. Although his role in the theatrical cut is relatively brief, more scenes of Olyphant and DiCaprio discussing their past projects are included in the extended edition, which runs over three hours in length.
