The 8 greatest roles of science fiction, fantasy and horror of Timothy Olyphant

After Dead wood And JustifiedTimothy Olyphant will forever be linked first and foremost to the Westerns. And although he is clearly aware of this – playing this association in roles that lived on other genres – he is also a versatile star who appeared in comedies and dramas, as well as science fiction, horror and fantasy that we cover at IO9. Here are our eight favorite gender roles so far, starting with his current project …

Alien: earth

The new newly launched fx fx fx series maps a new story on the small screen for the Stranger Universe film, with many familiar reminders for moviegoers. Almost unrecognizable with pale hair and carefully empty eyes, Olyphant plays Kirsh, a synthetic that seems Quite nice after the first two episodes. But will he end up being more a manipulative ash or a heroic bishop?

CRI 2

It has been almost 30 years since the traditional breakthrough of Olyphant CRI 2. When the last daughter of the first film heads towards the university, the slasshing yells briefly to stop for a scene that takes place in a cinematographic study course, Olyphant playing a frank nerd with strong opinions of pop culture (Alien comes in the discussion, just like Terminator 2– Long before the involvement of Olyphant in one or the other franchise). Spoiler for several decades here, but he has also unmasked one of the ghosts of the film, an independent maniac enrolled by the main killer to help his revenge program.

Drive-up

When Stephen King fans think of the best adaptations of his work, Drive-up is traditionally not a high level row. But if you bring it together stranger King Adaptations, this 2003 film would certainly lead the pack. Olyphant Co-Stars with Jason Lee, Damian Lewis and Thomas Jane as lifetime linked by psychic powers which must fight both terrifying foreigners and, in a rare wicked role, Morgan Freeman as a military colonel obsessed with the content of the extraterrestrial threat.

The madmen

Hollywood sometimes remembers that George A. Romero made films beyond his series of zombies, which explains why 1973 The madmen I have a 2010 remake. Olyphant leads a story of decent science fiction horror while a small town sheriff rushes to survive after his community is accidentally flooded by a biological weapon which makes almost everyone act as a madman. The government is trying to control the damage and, predictable, worsens things. It is not contrary to A zombie film, in other words.

Range

This entry recognizes Olyphant’s many guest roles through animated films and television (Archer,, Simpsons,, Rick and Mortyetc.), but we chose this 2011 outing because it plays “the spirit of the West”, a mystical advice giver, and the cast clearly leans in its fame as a Western star.

The right place

He plays himself! Or, a version of itself, anyway. When the gang must convince Gen the judge (an Olyphant surface) to rethink this whole affair of “reset the whole universe”, Janet talks about a friendly version of the star, with a cowboy hat, to help Eleanor and the company to assert their cause. (That works.)

The Mandalorian, Boba Fett’s book

Two Star Wars shows, an Olyphant. He played Cobb Vanth, the wandering Marshal Tatooine in the famous armor of Boba Fett – who later appeals to the help of the Mandalorian when his city is caught in a cross fire of bad guys and even Badder premium hunters. Yes, this is another role of legislator … but a very different kind of Wild West West West.

Terminator Zero

Netflix Terminator The anime was cool in many ways, including the fact that its English language distribution included Olyphant as a terminator.
