    A close look at FX’s series: Justified

    August 5, 2011 /

    For a single series to receive multiple Emmy nominations for acting in one year is quite an achievement. It points to a show’s overall quality when the talent bench runs so deep — consider “Mad Men’s” continued presence in the acting categories and in the drama winner’s circle, or “Modern Family,” which has twice loaded up on acting nominations and was awarded the top comedy prize last year.

    Now, flying slightly lower on the public’s radar, comes “Justified,” the FX crime series set in the poor, coal-mining towns of Kentucky and based on Elmore Leonard stories. Virtually ignored by Emmy voters last year (it did receive a nomination for main title theme music), its second season came on like gangbusters, earning four acting nods — going to four first-time nominees in Timothy Olyphant, Walton Goggins, Margo Martindale and Jeremy Davies. And while the series itself did not earn a nomination, for anyone who’s watched Olyphant as U.S. Deputy Marshal Raylan Givens face down the criminal elements in Harlan County, the multiple honors are no surprise. Except, perhaps, to the actors themselves.

    GQ&A: Timothy Olyphant

    July 19, 2011 /

    “What am I going to wear to the Emmys? Something with a tie,” says Timothy Olyphant with a bone-dry chuckle. There’s much for Olyphant to smile about: as charismatic sheriff Raylan Givens he’s the main draw of Elmore Leonard-inspired western Justified, American GQ described him as the Most Stylish Man On TVand he’s just been nominated for an Emmy up against Jon Hamm. With a slight southern drawl (he’s the kind of 43-year-old who can say “dude” and get away with it) and having just woken up, here he tells GQ.com about stealing on set, the last time he threw a punch and shaving his head for Hitman…

    GQ.com: Has your personal style been influenced by Raylan’s wardrobe?
    Timothy Olyphant: I like the whole vibe – the boots are especially cool. We just got a hugepair of boots in. They look like some animal tried to eat them; they’re real vintage.

    What’s a typical Justified fan like?
    I have no idea. Every now and then someone says, “Hey man, like the show,” but that’s it. I don’t walk around wearing a cowboy hat and boots so that might be it. I think the beard and overcoat I wear throws people off.

    When was the last time you threw a punch?
    Oh gosh, it’s been a while. I punch a lot of guys on set. It’s much easier than in real life as your hands don’t hurt afterwards. The key is that you miss.
