After starring in "Deadwood," Timothy Olyphant travelled into the future some 130 years to star in FX's modern drama, "Justified." He plays Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. After shooting a Miami mobster, Givens is transferred to Kentucky, where he happens to be from. It's not a happy homecoming. Drama, violence, secrets, and lies ensue — often tangled together.
"Justified" ran for six seasons and was critically acclaimed throughout its run. Walton Goggins' performance as Boyd Crowder, a white supremacist preacher who heads up the area's criminal underground, earned particular praise. Other notable cast members include Margo Martindale, Kaitlyn Dever, Sam Elliott, Patton Oswalt, Mary Steenburgen, Michael Rapaport, and Stephen Root.
Much like "Longmore," "Justified" is based on author Elmore Leonard's work, especially "Fire in the Hole." The success of "Justified" inspired Leonard to write another Givens-centric novel, "Raylan." The book came out in 2012, shortly before Leonard's death in 2013.
