Timothy Olyphant: How the "Deadwood" Movie FINALLY Happened | The Rich Eisen Show | 5/29/19

[@Rulusan]

He's been a part of two of the best written TV shows of all time. Deadwood and Justified

[@josephsharp5678]

Rulusan You forgot The Soprano's

[@josephsharp5678]

ohnochuck I know that lol..I'm just referring to The Sopranos as a brilliantly written show that is on par with both Deadwood And Justified that Tim has both starred on.

[@Rulusan]

Uhm, Some of you guy's don't seem to under stand the "Two of the best written" part of my statement. Pretty much leaves open that deadwood and Justified aren't the only two in the category. Also, like people are pointing out Olyphant weren't in those other shows.

[@darthjoey8986]

Justified was only mediocre

[@russellrichardson46]

Rulusan agreed!

[@r-pupz7032]

Honestly, Deadwood was & still is absolute peak television. The characters, the plot, the set, the attention to detail, the drama... Its beyond anything else. I've not seen the film yet but I am SO excited!

[@TheAndrewj96]

Well, prepare to have your expectations blown out of the water; the movie is incredible.

[@TheAndrewj96]

@@TheAndrewj96 Just finished it a little while ago, can confirm!

[@tonybeluga2796]

Deadwood is literally the best show ever written. A real cast of Kings.

[@garageink74]

Timothy gave me two of my all time favorite shows. Deadwood and Justified. Thank you sir.

[@TheGeorgeD13]

More like David Milch and Graham Yost. But Timothy definitely helped bring those shows to life.

[@terrygoyan]

He was great in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" as well.

[@gilmer3718]

"Bullock, have you ever thought of not going straight at a problem?" ".... NO!" Classic Deadwood.

The guy (Drunk Number Two) yelling in the street is played by Garret Dillahunt who already played 2 other characters in the series (Francis Wolcott and Jack McCall).

[@justincooper7530]

evandest1983 I was waiting to see if that actor would show up! Very well done better than Thrones Ending.

[@bytesizemagic]

Same! I waited the whole movie for Dillahunt to show and was not let down! Thank You Deadwood!

@Bob Brock really ? I'm going to go back and have a look,how did he end up there I wonder

[@4zafinc]

@Bob Brock Holy shiet! Had No idea. Most based crossover

[@charlessmith5595]

Timothy is such a brilliant actor I was upset when Deadwood ended and devastated at the end of Justified

[@CLARKakaSIX]

Tim seems like the most laid back chill person to ever hang out with. I dont know that I've ever seen a celebrity do more interviews in flip flops as this guy. Great actor, cant wait to see future projects.

[@herpderp1750]

As a fan of deadwood and always wanting more. THANK YOU. Thank you for doing this for us fans.

[@josephhertzberg2734]

Deadwood blew my freaking mind, and upped my cursing to epic levels

[@DIVINEWINDSWORD]

timothy olyphant and keanu reeves two of the coolest dudes in hollywood hands down

[@NxDoyle]

Dayton Callie's Charlie Utter is like a quiet backbone. Trying to go about his business with no fuss, trying to create a kind of pension fund for Bill Hickok with no fuss, but always there when good needed doing.

[@joshuacalkins]

Nx Doyle He was always the one willing to tell Hearst exactly how he thought of him. The actor went on to have a great role on Sons of Anarchy, with some of the best, subtle character work I’ve seen.

[@YolkyPalky]

When Tim talks about the "extra" who says "I hope you die in the street, just like my dad did", I'm surprised he didn't reveal that the "extra" who says that line is actually a cameo appearance by none other than Garret Dillahunt, who played both The Coward Jack McCall and Francis Wolcott in the original series.

[@caiuscosades362]

I though he said just like my dog did

[@allT1mec0psAreBad]

Yeah it was a cameo. Surprised he didn’t catch that.

[@Gabriel-br4qe]

Dillahunt is so damn good man

[@ZChronicNebula]

How was it a cameo? Dan later killed him for staring at the theif girl

[@JoeSmith-dl9ok]

Really? Butchin

[@jaeves007]

"visiting old friends" Absolutely. I honestly have tears in my eyes. It's such a fantastic show.

[@animatewithdermot]

I've had the Deadwood movie saved for years, but wasn't going to watch it until re-watching the show (for the first time since it aired, it's been so long, I'd forgotten much). It knocks the modern 'prestige' shows out of the water. So often with recent shows I'm baffled at why people act the way they are, sometimes which side they're on, what their motivations are, and of course the tedious habit of giving each and every backstory a tragic backstory (the problem being they make them EXPLICIT instead of implicit). Watching Deadwood, it's incredible that so much is implied or hinted/alluded, there's a respect for the audience that's missing so often now. It says a lot that Deadwood can throw dialog at us so complex that often you don't even know exactly what is being said, but you're never confused as to why a given character does what they do. Try watching 'wheel of time' or 'the witcher' and say as much, or, god forbid, the execrable 'game of thrones'. Oh great, more banal dialog where people sit & talk like a bunch of account managers in a second hand car dealership. Yawn. Flipping great to finally be able to rewatch the show, knowing there's a movie at the end that doesn't leave us hanging. Bravo Mr. Milch, and damnation upon the HBO galaxy brains who canned this.

[@clwnthr]

Well put. Although the movie didn't have nearly enough time to do the old show justice in any way. That just wasn't possible in only 105 minutes. Even for Milch 🙁

[@plaidchuck]

The movie sucked unfortunately. Instead of a movie they did the equivalent of two filler episodes.

[@clwnthr]

​@@plaidchuck Somewhat, yea. Though HBO also edited a good chunk of their production straight out. Was a crime, really.

[@clwnthr]

​@@plaidchuck "Such a shame that HBO cut out 40 minutes of the final cut, so we didn't get the actual intended ending. Scoundrels 😞"

[@frankhoffman3566]

One of the top ten shows of all time. Great writing. I found the use of language in it almost shakespearian. Yet it still worked seamlessly. The characters were all memorable. Of course the chemistry between the actors was obvious. Great show.

[@bulldogblvd]

Dont care for many of the movies he has done, but Deadwood and Justified were two of the best shows ever.

[@on2wheels378]

I don't know, Southland was pretty good too...

[@bulldogblvd]

On 2Wheels It definitely was, but I fail to see the relevance to Timothy?

[@aalot6744]

Hitman was great too.

[@debbiegiarratano60]

Watch Catch and Release! So different, but so good.

[@LadyMercutia]

He had only a small part in “This Is Where I Leave You” but GOD it’ll break your heart.

[@cheifcreekturtle]

David milch needs to write deadwood the books and I would totally be addicted to reading them immediately!

[@TigerzLionzPistonzWingz]

Never have seen anything like this show. I'm sad for those who have never seen it. Finally we are out of our 13 year pergatory. Love Olyphant and McShane and Milch et al. What an amazing movie after our long drought. I would love another one. And then one after that.

I'm so glad that they finally put a nail in Deadwood's coffin. I was unemployed after an accident for about a year, and through the course of the year I think I watch Deadwood from front to back at least three times.

[@NSMO647]

Saw the movie Sunday. I'm a HUGE Deadwood fan and also a Justified fan that Timothy also did. I was seriously a FAN BOY watching it. GREAT movie.

[@joenahay5922]

The show was one of my like top 3 all time favorites and I was sooo frustrated it ended the way it did, I was so excited to learn they were making a movie of it and seriously it was great! You guys killed it seriously!

[@reesesimpson5440]

2:30 the “extra” he is referring to is Garret Dillahunt who is uncredited AFAIK. But I think it’s great he got to come back to Deadwood!! (Even for a brief moment)

[@buckwilicker]

Wild Bill's murderer! He played at least 2 characters in the TV series. I'm pretty sure Tim knew this but didn't want to spoil anything

[@paulviditomusic]

@@buckwilicker yup definitely him!

[@dredthis9473]

When watching I had to replay that scene because I recognized the voice and eyes of that extra. I knew it was the murderer of Bill but I didn't know his real name or character name. Awesome that he was brought back into this movie because he was such a great side story to the series.

[@NotoriusMaximus]

his 3rd role in the show

[@chesterogilvie1393]

Yeahhh others caught that too!! Right on!

[@TrinityHealth215]

And the guy in the street who said "like my dad did" was the same actor Garret Dillionhunt who played Wild Bills killer in the original show. I noticed that the night it came out.

[@mantislake4141]

Seriously? Dillahunt is an amazing actor. If you didn't know, he was recast in "Deadwood" in season 2 as the weirdo prostitute killer who worked for Hearst. It's only fitting that he'd cameo in the new flick. Surprising that Olyphant didn't mention that it was him as Dillahunt also had a good role in the last season of "Justified".

[@TrinityHealth215]

Yes, and how did Tim not know this? Dillahunt is another phenomenal actor, and a major player since the beginning of the series. They had many pivotal scenes together!

[@larrysnyder3475]

Truly one of the greatest shows ever.

[@screenplaya4562]

The "extra" who spoke of his dad dying in the street was Garret Dillahunt, who brilliantly played two different characters in the series.

Ya most people didn't pick that up

[@rl2699]

I watched the movie and it was actually really good. I want more though damnit, lol.

[@RMGCBK]

Agreed. The movie was fantastic, but when it got to the end, it was like re-opening an old wound. I remember how I felt when the series was cancelled. Heartbreaking. And, to top it off, as a Timothy Olyphant fan and finding out only a couple weeks ago about Santa Clarita Diet being cancelled - too much TV pain.

[@Shrinehi1]

I really enjoyed the Deadwood movie. Olyphant was great in his role in the series and the movie.

[@SpeechCheck]

Can not wait! Finally! This should be epic.

[@skyedge3407]

The "extra" was Garrett Dillahunt who played two leading roles, as Jack McCall and Francis Wolcott. Not sure if Timothy knew this lol.

[@Zennofobic]

i just posted the same thing... Tim knew. There's an interview where he laughs because Dillahunt was on the call sheet listed as Drunk #2 and Tim was ribbing Garrett on how he didn't even get listed as Drunk #1 on the extras callsheet.

[@patgodman5848]

Love him, love the whole cast, loved the show, loved the movie.

[@Peppers19781978]

I hope they release a good behind the scenes documentary on this movie. I want to see how things came together, the cast reuniting for the first time in 13 years. I am sure everyone was pretty emotional and in awe when these amazing actors and actresses stepped back into these characters. Seeing Ian and Timothy in costume likely gave people chills like when Han and Chewie stepped on set on the Millennium Falcon again. Something nobody thought would ever happen again. Al Swearengen is one of the greatest characters/villains ever.

[@sroevukasroevuka]

It was worth the wait. Deadwood was a great show.

[@MyJaxJingles]

I just finished all episodes and the movie. I want more!!!!!

[@michealholcomb7604]

The ending didn't seem like an ending. There are so many stories left to tell. I wish they would bring it back!

[@feelwang]

Rarely the consistency and intricacy in a show with so many characters interacting and all makes sense like organic organs. It is the best show on my list once I saw it the first time and never ever got exceeded. Well, getting close yes, like Friday Night Lights and The Sopranos but the language in Deadwood is second to none

[@jingqi9106]

What else has Milch written, I’d love to see it! Deadwood was the best western TV has ever seen and should have had a much longer run!

[@Fnberg744]

NYPD Blue was some riveting stuff

[@imjinrat2325]

A very under rated show. I'm surprised by the number of people that I talk to that didn't see it. I think that will change and it will grow in popularity over time. I was a little disappointed they killed off Charlie Utter. They were pretty good at maintaining historical accuracy, but Utter didn't die until 1912.

[@buddhastl7120]

Swearengen died in Denver and was married during a decent part of his time in Deadwood. It suggested he died during the end of the movie in Deadwood.

[@laurawilloughby4000]

It's not an under rated show.

[@animatewithdermot]

Respectfully disagree! Swearengen had a twin brother, wasn't English, and was apparently stabbed in Denver in 1904 or thereabouts. Sol was very different also. They did the right thing, parallel universe alt versions of real people.

what i want to know is, is steve the drunk going to be in the show? at the end of the mini-series, he was kicked by a horse and was near death. he was my favourite character.

[@leeuniverse]

It was crazy that they came out with a movie so LONG after the series... to wrap the series up. I was like huh, a movie? It seemed so out of place after so long. But, it was good it was able to be finally done.

[@mobiusklein9140]

I loved this show. My favourite line was when Tricksy asked Jewel where she got some money or other from and jewel replies with a hint of pride and a little grin "Sold a piece of pussy"

[@gasser5001]

Deadwood was probably one of the best shows ever. Every aspect was perfect except the fact that they cancelled it.

[@manleeman5212]

A keen eye will spot that the "extra" who drops the line about his dead father is played by Garrett Hedlund who played 2 different roles over the course of the show. Only time I've seen an actor brought in for three different roles that time.

[@Vindicator12Music]

Charlie Utter is my favorite character in Deadwood.

[@laurawilloughby4000]

Jane, tho. I think there was only 1 scene with Jane and Al; wish there was more. The charisma was off the charts. Charlie was wonderful. I thought the writers killed him to up the emotion because he was such a beloved character.

That's weird. Surely! The "extra" who yelled out "I hope you die in the street, like my Dad did!". That was no extra. I believe that was Garrett Dillahunt, the actor who played Francis Wolcott, bought back as an anonymous face in the crowd. Mr. W was another amazing and twisted character, superbly played. Dillahunt appears as another villain in JUSTIFIED, again a terrific character, flawed and evil yet somehow likeable and sympathetic...

I see what you did there, Olyphant... where that "extra" yelled about his father dying in the street...a little Easter egg you just placed there. *shakes head slowly looking at floor...eyes closed* I KNOW Dillahunt when it's Dillahunt and that was Dillahunt. I fu*king love Dillahunt. And so do you. Fun fact: Olyphant is a third cousin, once removed, of journalist Anderson Cooper, a second cousin, twice removed, of Anderson's mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, and a fourth cousin of filmmaker James Vanderbilt. Timothy's three times paternal great-grandparents, William Henry Vanderbilt and Maria Louisa Kissam, were also the two times maternal great-grandparents of Anderson Cooper and the three times paternal great-grandparents of James Vanderbilt.

Deadwood was great at introducing you to a bad guy, then making you like them by putting them at odds with an even badder guy. THEN they give you someone even worse and you side with the last bad guy. So good.

[@Demandredzero]

That wasn't an extra, that was the guy played both Walcott and the guy who shot Wild Bill in the back. I am not sure if he was supposed to be the son of one of those characters, but that was the same actor.
