Justified (Timothy Olyphant)


You bet I'm glad Mags aint gotten Raylan dead with that poison-laced moonshine cup.

After 15 hours straight of Justified (around 1.5 seasons), I am beginning to talk like one 'o those hillbillies. heh

I also see that the major attraction of the show is Timothy Olyphant, who plays the title character of 'Marshal Raylan Givens'. Now Raylan is one truly unique character. He's charismatic, has deceptively laid-back mannerisms and doesn't give one inch when it comes to doing justice.

Timothy Olyphant simply defines the character, the hallmark of a truly great actor: making a character his very own and attracts the audience's love and devotion in spite of all the character's faults. Dexter, House and Don Draper had it, and Raylan had officially joined the serial-nominated-for-emmy club this year.

(Technically this isn't true since this is the first year he's nominated, but im predicting many, many more nominations to come)

The fact is, Timothy/Raylan just grows on you. He's not the typical handsome actor, but he's got style and charisma.



Such beautiful eyes. Sculpted features framed by salt-and-pepper whiskers and side burns, the perfect example of a man in his prime.
