Justified ARRESTS SAM ELLIOTT AND GARRET DILLAHUNT
Actors Will Join Cast for the Final Season of FX’s Acclaimed Hit Drama Series Sixth and Final Season to Debut January 2015
September 19, 2014, LOS ANGELES – FX has cast Sam Elliott and Garret Dillahunt in recurring roles on its critically-acclaimed, award-winning drama series Justified, which enters its final season January 2015.
Sam Elliott will portray “Markham,” a legendary Kentucky gangster who returns from exile with a private army and bags of cash (earned growing legal weed in Colorado), hell-bent on winning back his empire and the lost love of his life, Katherine Hale (Mary Steenburgen). He'll find himself butting heads with Raylan and Boyd and even with Katherine herself, who secretly believes that Markham is the rat who brought down her husband.
Garret Dillahunt will play “Walker”, a spec ops veteran who's spent much of the last decade deployed in combat zones, first as a soldier and most recently as a private contractor. He now handles security for a quasi-legal businessman, a job to which he brings all of the skills (as well as the demons) he acquired during his military career. Walker hides his simmering rage behind an exterior of cold professionalism -- until the combined irritants of Raylan and Boyd wear away his veneer and bring the monster to the surface.
Based on Elmore Leonard’s novella “Fire in the Hole,” Justified was developed by Graham Yost and stars Timothy Olyphant as “Deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens”, a lawman who finds himself drawn back to his home state of Kentucky. The series co-stars Walton Goggins as “Boyd Crowder;” Nick Searcy as Givens’ longtime friend and boss “Chief Deputy Art Mullen;” Jacob Pitts as “Deputy Marshal Tim Gutterson;” Erica Tazel as “Deputy Marshal Rachel Brooks;” Joelle Carter as “Ava Crowder;” and Jere Burns as “Wynn Duffy.” Yost wrote the pilot and serves as Executive Producer/Writer on the series. Executive Producers on the series include Carl Beverly, Sarah Timberman, Michael Dinner, Fred Golan, Dave Andron, Don Kurt, and the late Elmore Leonard. Justified is produced by Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions.

I will miss this show very much once it will be over :(
ReplyDeleteSam Elliott!!! What a perfect fit. And Garret, not the Deadwood alumni I wanted, but I still love him and I think he'd be a great fit. I wasn't too happy with last season, but I'm sad the show is ending, hope it ends on a high note.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, seriously I love the show and their use of Deadwood stars, especially happy to see Garret Dillahunt back on our screens after the sad cancellation of Raising Hope.
ReplyDeleteI hope these new characters don't undermine what supposed to be the main focus of Justified's final season - Raylan vs. Boyd.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Both actors are perfect for their characters, though I hope this final season focuses on the main cast. I will miss them so much!
ReplyDeleteSweeeeeeeet!
ReplyDeleteThis show always has great casting!
As usual, Justified always gets the best recurring actors.
ReplyDeleteThis is Great News! I love this show!
ReplyDeleteI love Sam Elliot!! He fits in perfect on Justified!!! So excited for the last season. Raylan vs Boyd = awesome!!
ReplyDeleteDillahunt was great on Deadwood and played a real creepy hitman so he is perfect for this. Sam Elliott and his mustache just might be too much manliness for this show. With Raylan, Boyd, and now Elliott the testosterone will make the tv explode.
ReplyDeleteOoh, what exceptional casting. REALLY looking forward to this.
ReplyDeletethis description of the 2 new actors sound more like Raylan & Boyd will be working together rather against each other in the Final season... which i LOVE...☺...
ReplyDeletevery nice bit of casting as it looks as if the show is really gonna dial things up for the swan song and I can't wait to see what the writer's are cooking up for us
ReplyDeleteTimothy O AND Sam Elliott in the same show !!!
ReplyDeleteNew and old school - sexiest cowboys !!!
Sad knowing it's coming to an end - but if your gonna end it - go out with a Bang ......
Or in Justified terms - 'Harlan County Wars'. I will miss Raylan and Boyd.
