'12
It’s always a very special day for me when we get new photos of Timothy Olyphant. Of course, these particular pictures don’t have the greatest lighting, for they were taken close to dusk amongst the shadows of midtown Manhattan yesterday while Timothy was outside the Ed Sullivan theater for an appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” Still, we have Olyphant, and there are very few things I enjoy more on this planet than just watching this man walk:
There’s an interview too, of course! So we get to watch and hear Olyphant speak in his typical animated fashion, which is very different than the “strong words, soft voice” method he uses to portray the Raylan Givens character on FX’s “Justified.” Oly usually talks a lot during interviews about his family and has a very deadpan sense of humor that doesn’t always translate as intended, such as that time he joked about dumping his wife if he’d won the Emmy. In his defense, that really was her idea, and their marriage has endured for over two decades, so I find it difficult to believe that he should be judged poorly for such an inside joke. About a year ago, Olyphant also had a very cute Ellen interview where he talked about his pets, especially two Shiloh Shepherds that he calls “Ah-ah!” and “NO.” Last night with Letterman, Olyphant dished on how his 12-year-old daughter (he’s got two other children, aged 8 and 10, with wife Alexis) doesn’t think he’s a very cool guy at all. Olyphant (and his fans) would beg to differ:
On his 10-year-old son: “The boy’s in the middle. It’s tough, you know. I keep telling him, I say, ‘Buddy, listen. In a couple of years, you’re going to love your older sister’s friends. And then a couple years after that, then you’re gonna love your younger sister’s friends. It means nothing to him right now.”
On his 12-year-old daughter: “Here’s the problem. When she was younger, we used to argue, and I was cool with that. Now when she gets mad at me, she just stares at me. And she doesn’t say it, she’s a good kid, but I know she’s thinking, ‘You’re an a–hole.’ And she just stares at me like that! And I don’t say it, but what I’m thinking is ‘I’m gonna Google myself just to show her that I’m cool. Look, I don’t know when I became ‘that guy.’ I’m the cool guy. I feel like I’m wanting to tell the 12-year-old, ‘No, no no. I’m not that guy.’ “
I just love this guy. He’s very grounded and has been puttering around Hollywood since the mid 1990s, so it’s nice to see him gain some much deserved mainstream success. Of course, that also destroys my fantasies of keeping him all to myself, but whatever. I can deal if it means seeing more Olyphant. Here are some closeups. He looks so good going gracefully grey at the temples, right?

He’s VERY hot. I like that he’s not mega-famous. He’s one of my underrated favorites, for sure.

I cosign all of the above. Every actor on that show is fantastic, even the minor character, but those two…damn.
Yay! It’s Tuesday, Justified Day! I’m going to cry after the finale, too long a wait for more!

Oh my god, I love Boyd Crowder. I love the way he walks, and the phrases he uses and how much his hair EMOTES. He is great with Ava. And Timothy Olyphant can do no wrong as Raylon. Such a great show.

Count me in as loving both of them. Rayland is gorgeous. But there is something AWESOME about Boyd! I love him!

Ditto mia girl…this man is INSANELY sexy in the most natural, unassuming way.
I LOVE Justified – such a well-written, brilliantly acted show. I just wish Mags Bennett hadn’t died(although her death scene was a great way to circle back to how she killed Loretta’s dad in the first episode)- Margo Martindale is simply BRILLIANT.

There is no need for Timothy Olyphant to Google himself when I am available to do that for him.

Damn, his eyes. And, I loved the Dove commercial at the beginning of the clip – they have real-looking women in it with some meat on them.

Ever since the movie “Go”, I have crushed on him soooooo hard. He is so under rated, but maybe that is a good thing in Hollywood.

That’s the first movie I saw him in and instantly fell in love!
Although he plays a terrifying drug dealer in that movie…what does that say about my taste?!

Yup….it was “Go” for me too and have followed his career ever since.
I can’t tell you how many times we’ve seen “Hitman”.

I am still mad at HBO for cancelling Deadwood. Once they cancelled Rome too, I cancelled them. I haven’t been able to get into Justified; I tried because I like everyone that’s in it.

Out of curiosity, how much of it did you watch? I was into it right away, but it definitely got better as it went, and season 2 was even better than season 1. If you only saw the first few episodes, I’d suggest giving it another shot sometime.

He’s crazy hot and his dry sense of humour makes him even hotter. Love Justified.

LOVE. HIM. So sweet, so sexy…and so funny.
I used to tell my older kids (3-and-a-half years apart) that they’d better start getting along, because when they were older, he’d want to date HER friends (and she’d tell him what an a–hole he was) and she’d want to date HIS friends (and he’d tell them what a bitch she was).
Guess who was right?

Unlike other actors, he is getting hotter as he gets older. Sort of sexy the way he talks about his family. I am going to miss Justified when it ends in few weeks.

Love him and Justified is by far one of the best shows on television right now. I’m so happy he is getting much deserved attention. I loved the Emmy joke. People need to get a sense of humor. I love a little dead pan humor.

I adore this man more than words can say – thanks for the post! Totally agree, one of life’s simple pleasures is just to sit back and watch him walk on ‘Justified’. Long live the Olyphant!
