I think he’s awesome, very likable, especially in Justified. Raylan Givens is a great character.

He was great in Deadwood and The Mandalorian as well.

Mr. Olyphant was great as Cobb Vanth in The Mandalorian. Vanth standing in the entrance to the bar in the Mandalorian armor is such an amazing moment. It’s burned in my brain.

Been watching it for the first time. Its been a lot of fun. Huge fan of Olyphant.

The new one is pretty good, Justified: Cuty Primeval, but the original was great. Walton Goggins was an excellent villain.

I like Chris Pine’s Kirk, but I can imagine Mr. Olyphant as Kirk in the Kelvin films and doing a great job at it. I get that the Kelvin films Kirk was set when he was closer to Mr. Pine’s age. Still, I can’t help but wonder what a Timothy Olyphant Kirk might have been like.

I think he would have done great.

He would have been wasted on the NuTrek films. He’d have killed it, stolen every scene, spiked the ball in the end zone and done a little dance, but Abrams and Kurtzman and the rest of those hacks don’t deserve him.

This comment manages to violate Rules 1, 4, and 6, all in one go.

Yeah, he has a mild ressemblance to 1960s William Shatter around the eyes.

Olyphant would have been great as Pike, for sure.

Is it because he was too good an actor?
USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 10 months ago
Which main cast actors in those movies do you feel aren’t particularly talented?

Chris
PrattHemsworthPine is very skilled at being as generic as possible, Zach Quinto is very good at being melodramatic as fuck, but otherwise couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, Karl Urban can act when he wants to... but he was too busy chewing scenery trying to mimic DeForest Kelley's mannerisms in these movies to do any... everyone else was just kind of... there.

Yes, but CM400 explained it in 1/100 if the words.
