Early life[edit] Olyphant was born in Honolulu, Hawaii
Hawaii but moved to Modesto, California at the age of two.[1] His parents are J.V. Bevan Olyphant, who worked as vice president of production at Gallo Winery, and Katherine (née Gideon).[2][3][4][5][6] He has an older brother, Andrew, and a younger brother, Matthew.[7] His parents divorced when Olyphant was a teenager; both remarried.[8][9][10] His father later moved to Arizona, where he owns an extensive cattle ranch.[11] He is of English, German, Scottish, Dutch, Irish, and Russian-Jewish descent.[12] Olyphant is a descendant of the Vanderbilt family
Vanderbilt family of New York. His paternal fourth great-grandfather was family patriarch Cornelius Vanderbilt and his third great-grandfather was William Henry Vanderbilt, who doubled the family's railroad fortune. Olyphant's great-great-grandmother was socialite Emily Thorn Vanderbilt, his great-grandmother was socialite Emily Vanderbilt Sloane
Emily Vanderbilt Sloane and his granduncle was music producer John Hammond.[13][14] The surname Olyphant is of Scottish origin.[1] His paternal fourth great-grandfather, Dr. David Olyphant, was born in Scotland and served as director-general of the Southern hospitals during the American Revolutionary War.[15] His third great-grandfather, David Olyphant, and great-great-grandfather, Robert Morrison Olyphant, were both prominent businessmen.[14][16][17] Olyphant attended Modesto's Fred C. Beyer High School.[18] Growing up, he was "embarrassed" by the idea of acting but enjoyed art and drawing.[19][20] He swam competitively throughout his childhood and was a finalist at the 1986 Nationals in the 200m Individual Medley.[21][22] He was then recruited to the University of Southern California by USC Trojans swimming coach Peter Daland.[23][24] When Olyphant first visited the campus as part of a recruitment trip, he hoped to study architecture but was told it would be unmanageable with his training schedule.[19][25][26] Instead, he opted to do a degree in fine arts.[1] After graduating in 1990,[23] Olyphant half-heartedly considered a career in commercial art.[20][27] While in the process of applying for a master's degree in fine arts, and working as a swimming coach at Irvine Novaquatics,[28][29] Olyphant decided to move to New York to explore other options.[25] He initially performed stand-up comedy: "I'd dabbled [before] and then there was a six-month period where I did it with a certain commitment. Then I'd occasionally go back."[20][27][30][31] Ultimately, he decided to become an actor. In his final year of university, he had taken an acting class as an elective at UC Irvine
UC Irvine and found it "really enjoyable".[1][32] He completed a two-year acting program at New York's William Esper Studio and began auditioning for roles.[33][34][35] Career[edit] 1995–2003: Early supporting roles[edit] Olyphant's first paid acting job was in a 1995 WB television pilot based on 77 Sunset Strip. Phyllis Huffman cast him in the role but he did not have an opportunity to meet the show's producer, Clint Eastwood, who quit days before filming began.[36][37] Later that year, he made his professional Off Broadway debut in the Playwrights Horizons' production of The Monogamist[38][39] and received the Theatre World Award for Outstanding Debut Performance.[40] He starred in the world premiere of The SantaLand Diaries
SantaLand Diaries (1996) at the Atlantic Theater Company, a one-man play based on David Sedaris' essay about working as a Macy's
Macy's department store Christmas elf.[41] Ben Brantley of The New York Times
New York Times felt the "charming" Olyphant did "a wonderful job" when imitating other characters but had "a harder time finding a convincing style for the running narrative."[42] Howard Kissell of The New York Daily News
New York Daily News remarked that he delivered "all the drollery with a perfect deadpan and a twinkle"[43] while David Patrick Stearns of USA Today described him as "an excellent young actor who successfully projects the world-weariness of a young 20-something who slowly evolves into somebody who just might believe in Christmas."[44] Olyphant made his feature film debut in The First Wives Club
The First Wives Club (1996) as an eager young director who attempts to cast Elise Elliot (Goldie Hawn) – who thinks she will be playing the leading lady – in the role of the elderly mother.[45] Later, he appeared in the pilot of the CBS
CBS spy series Mr. & Mrs. Smith.[46][47] In 1997, Olyphant made a guest appearance as Officer Brett Farraday in three episodes of the ABC police drama High Incident[48] and returned to New York's Playwrights Horizons
Playwrights Horizons to play a supporting role in Plunge.[49] He also had minor roles in the romantic comedy A Life Less Ordinary[50] and the CBS
CBS television film Ellen Foster.[51] Olyphant's most high-profile role of 1997 was as a film student in the successful horror film Scream 2, bringing "a degree of wild-eyed flair to the role," according to HitFix's Chris Eggertsen.[52][53] He later described the role as "a gift. I had virtually nothing on my resume at that point. I'm sure some of it was made up."[53] Olyphant returned to television in 1998 for a guest starring role in an episode of the HBO
HBO sitcom Sex and the City, playing a love interest for Carrie Bradshaw. Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker later said the episode, "Valley of the Twenty Something Guys", was her favorite of the series.[54] Also that year, he had supporting roles in the HBO
HBO war film When Trumpets Fade[55] and the independent ensemble drama 1999.[56][57] Two little-seen films were released in 1999: the drama Advice from a Caterpillar, in which Olyphant played the bisexual love interest of Cynthia Nixon's character,[58][59] and the offbeat ensemble comedy No Vacancy, in which he starred with Christina Ricci.[60] Olyphant received positive notices for portraying a drug dealer in the cult comedy Go (1999).[6][34][61] He is set to star in the fantasy film Practical Magic, but he is replaced by Aidan Quinn.[62][63] Janet Maslin of The New York Times
New York Times noted that the role was "played with offbeat flair"[64][65] while Todd McCarthy of Variety described it as a "deftly etched" performance.[66] After Olyphant's performance in Go, the film's producer Mickey Liddell offered him his choice of parts in his next project The Broken Hearts Club (2000), a romantic comedy about a group of gay friends living in West Hollywood.[67][68][69] The Village Voice's Dennis Lim commented that his leading performance was better than the film deserved: "Olyphant is charismatic enough for his worst lines not to stick."[70] However, Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle felt he played the part "like a straight actor gaying it up."[71] Olyphant played the detective in the successful action film Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) and joked in an interview about the challenges of playing "second fiddle to a car";[45][72] his performance reminded the Washington Post's Stephen Hunter of a young Bill Paxton.[73] Olyphant was offered a starring role for a character called Dominic Toretto in another car film called Redline – that would later be retitled The Fast and the Furious. According to Sony producer Neal H. Moritz, "The studio said, 'If you can get Timothy Olyphant
Timothy Olyphant to play that role we will greenlight the movie." Olyphant declined the role, which went to Vin Diesel. The film went on to be a massive success, with seven sequels to date.[74] Olyphant also had supporting roles in the musical comedy Rock Star,[37] the crime drama Auggie Rose,[75][76] and the romantic comedy Head Over Heels (all 2001). He starred in the short film Doppelganger (2001)[77] and appeared in an episode of the Sci-Fi Channel
Sci-Fi Channel horror series Night Visions (2002).[78] Olyphant's most high-profile role of 2003 was in the Vin Diesel-starring action film A Man Apart. Desson Howe of the Washington Post remarked that Olyphant "gets a kudo or two for [having] the good sense to realize he's playing one of the movie's many one-dimensional characters, so he might as well have insane fun."[79] Similarly, Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle noted that "the most lively character in "A Man Apart" turns out [to be] a middling drug dealer played to the hilt by Timothy Olyphant."[80] He appeared in the film adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel Dreamcatcher as one of four friends attacked by parasitic aliens.[81][82][83] The film was poorly reviewed, with David Rooney of Variety remarking: "Only Lee and Olyphant come close to hitting the right note of tongue-in-cheek humor that might have made all this palatable. Unfortunately, they're the first to go."[84] Also in 2003, he appeared in the independent ensemble drama The Safety of Objects.[67][85][86] Olyphant received widespread praise for his 2004 performance as a porn film producer in the comedy The Girl Next Door.[87][88][89] He was initially reluctant to audition for the part, feeling it was too similar to some of his previous roles but, "as my manager dutifully reminded me, not many people saw those movies."[72] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle described the character of Kelly as "a leering, magnetic, frightening, glad-handing, easily-amused, hyper-sensitive, utterly deceitful, maddeningly likable wild man. When Olyphant is on screen, there's the feeling that things might go anywhere."[90] A.O. Scott of The New York Times
New York Times remarked that the part was played with "a throwaway inventiveness"[91] while Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times felt it was played "with wonderful comic zest."[92] David Edelstein of Slate enjoyed his "spaced-out volatility. Olyphant's Kelly is a brilliant synthesis of poses."[93] Joe Leydon of Variety said he "strikes an impressively deft balance of hearty amiability and understated menace in his scene-stealing turn."[94] Olyphant later discussed passing on a lot of roles earlier in his career. In 2011, when asked by The Hollywood Reporter
The Hollywood Reporter what was the most absurd project he had ever been pitched, he replied, "I've passed on absurd projects and they have become enormous, enormous hits spawning numerous sequels, and I'm not in them."[95] In a 2015 interview, Olyphant reflected on the early stages of his film career, and not getting the leading roles that would have possibly led to major fame: "I got great opportunities right off the bat. And at the same time I either passed or failed to get things that would have made things ridiculously quick. I passed on enormous opportunities only to end up playing the supporting role in the next film. And then I'd think to myself, "What the fuck am I doing? Why did I do that?" But sometimes I feel like I got away with some things, because I've been able to work for a long time and I haven't had to deal with any kind of fame issues."[96] 2004–2009: Deadwood and leading film roles[edit]

Olyphant in 2007

Olyphant came to the attention of a wider audience when he was cast as Sheriff Seth Bullock
Seth Bullock in HBO's acclaimed western Deadwood, which aired for three seasons from 2004 to 2006.[72] While he had previously been typecast "as a talkative, Jack Nicholson–styled, funny bad boy," in the words of Vulture's Matt Zoller Seitz,[97][98] Deadwood gave him the opportunity to play a righteous, brooding lawman.[99][100][101][102] The show's creator, David Milch, said of the casting choice: "Bullock's uprightness is an alternative to going medieval on people. You can see that same fire and that possibility in Tim, even at his most genial ... I'm not sure which poet talked about 'thoughts too deep for words,' but he brings that idea alive ... Tim is a guy that doesn't let himself be known easily."[61][103][104] While Bullock was initially introduced as Deadwood's protagonist, Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club noted that the character of Al Swearengen came to "dominate the show ... This is not to slight Timothy Olyphant. He's a fine actor, and his portrayal of Bullock is frequently very, very good. Bullock is still unquestionably one of the most important characters on the show but the character of a Wild West lawman, no matter how revisionist it was in its portrayal of that lawman as someone who seemed barely in control at all times, just ended up not having as much to do in a blatantly revisionist Western about how chaos gives way to civilization."[105] Matt Feeney of Slate described Bullock as "laconic, feral, hot-tempered and a little vain", and said the character was "not so much played as embodied by Olyphant".[106] Alan Sepinwall of HitFix found his performance "fierce and commanding"[107] while Jeremy Egner of The New York Times
New York Times said that he showed "a capacity for explosive, nuanced performance barely suggested by earlier roles."[61] The cast were nominated for the 2006 Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.[50] Years later, Olyphant remarked that Deadwood "almost has done more for me since we wrapped than while it was on. I continue to draw from it, to steal from it. I'm much better at my job now because of the things I learned while doing it. David Milch
David Milch is one of the greatest writers, storytellers, directors, creative forces I've ever been around."[108] He has been somewhat critical of his own performance: "Frankly, the show is much better than my performance ... Ian was like a little kid, playing with the props and playing with the language and he never lost the sense of fun of it all. I wasn't operating at that same level."[109][110] 2006 saw the limited theatrical release of the independent drama Coastlines, in which Olyphant starred opposite Josh Brolin
Josh Brolin as an ex-con who returns to his Florida hometown. Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times wrote that he "possesses the kind of thousand-yard stare that suggests something deeper going on"[111] while Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly
Entertainment Weekly remarked that "Olyphant, in the sort of role that Paul Newman
Paul Newman used to swagger through, has a star's easy command."[112] However, Todd McCarthy of Variety felt his performance "sort of floats along."[113] Also that year, he made a guest appearance in an episode of the NBC
NBC comedy My Name Is Earl.[114] In 2007, Olyphant starred in the romantic comedy Catch and Release. He knew co-star Jennifer Garner from their days as struggling actors in New York, and was excited for the opportunity to play a romantic lead.[5][50][115] Lael Loewenstein of Variety felt "Olyphant clearly has a bright future"[116] while Desson Thomson of the Washington Post described him as "the strongest performer here" but that he was "entirely misplaced, an estimable actor caught in a thankless, frilly role."[117] Scott Tobias of The A.V. Club remarked: "Olyphant's trademark volatility makes him a livelier romantic lead than the usual stuffed shirt."[118] Similarly, Stephanie Zacharek of Salon found him "effective here precisely because he seems a little sharp and dangerous. He's not your typical cuddly romantic lead."[119] Olyphant's first post-Deadwood roles were the action movies Live Free or Die Hard and Hitman (both 2007). ( Coastlines
Coastlines was first screened during the Sundance Film Festival in 2002[120] while Catch and Release was filmed in 2005.[121]) He had bought a house in the weeks before Deadwood's cancellation[122][123] and he later admitted his job choices during this period were for "purely financial reasons."[19] In Live Free or Die Hard, he played a villainous cybersecurity expert.[50][101][124] Both he and Bruce Willis
Bruce Willis have said his role was underwritten in the script, and he enjoyed working with Willis to develop the character.[125][126][127] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone declared him "a master at smiling menace",[128] while Mick LaSalle of The San Francisco Chronicle found him "perfectly ice cold."[129] However, Manohla Dargis of The New York Times
New York Times remarked: "Mr. Olyphant has many charms, but annihilating menace is not one of them."[130] He next starred in Hitman, a video game adaptation, as the assassin Agent 47.[5][131][132] He was hired to replace Vin Diesel
Vin Diesel six weeks before filming began[133][134][135][136] and reluctantly agreed to shave his head.[126][137] The film was commercially successful, grossing over $100 million,[138] but received negative reviews. Todd McCarthy of Variety described Olyphant as "an actor capable of portraying subtle ambiguities and thought, which suggests he ought to branch out to play something other than baddies."[139] Nick Schager of Slant Magazine was disappointed to see the actor "reduced to glowering and posing with pistols"[140] while Manohla Dargis of The New York Times
New York Times felt he was "strangely, at times ridiculously, miscast."[141] In 2008, he had a supporting role as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Iraq War
Iraq War drama Stop-Loss,[50][142] played a pompous newscaster in the little-seen comedy Meet Bill,[143] voiced the character Cowboy in the video game Turok[144] and made a guest appearance on the first season of the ABC sitcom Samantha Who?
Samantha Who? with Christina Applegate.[145][146] Olyphant had a new outlook when choosing his 2009 projects, influenced by his experience with Hitman: "It motivated me to take a little more responsibility with what I was doing ... I was very fond of the director and a lot of the people that worked on the film but there was definitely a part of me that was like, "What am I doing here?'"[61][147][148] He starred as a morphine addict in the little-seen independent heist comedy High Life,[149][150][151] with Derek Elley of Variety praising his "terrific" performance.[152][153] He had a starring role in the thriller A Perfect Getaway
A Perfect Getaway as a possible serial killer of fellow holidaymakers in Hawaii. Manohla Dargis of The New York Times
New York Times enjoyed "the regrettably underemployed" actor's performance,[154] Ty Burr of the Boston Globe found him "delightfully confident"[155] while Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly
Entertainment Weekly noted he "has a heckuva good time telegraphing macho mania."[156] He was nominated for the Toronto Film Critics Association
Toronto Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor.[157] He returned to the stage for one night to appear in Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays, benefiting the Human Rights Campaign.[158][159] Also in 2009, he appeared in 15 episodes of the FX legal thriller Damages, as a morally ambiguous love interest for Rose Byrne's character.[160][161] Byrne later said he was her favorite Damages guest star,[162][163] while FX president John Landgraf sent him the pilot script for another FX project, Lawman (later renamed Justified).[104][108] In 2010, he starred as the town sheriff in the horror film The Crazies.[147][164] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian was impressed by the "saturnine screen presence of Timothy Olyphant
Timothy Olyphant – that formidable actor who deserves a lead role to match his potential."[165] The Hollywood Reporter's Michael Rechtshaffen found him "convincing"[166] while Claudia Puig of USA Today enjoyed the "smart, stoic and sympathetic" performance.[167] He also appeared in the independent comedy Elektra Luxx
Elektra Luxx (2010).[168][169] 2010–2015: Justified and comedic performances[edit] Olyphant starred in FX's modern-day western series, Justified, as Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan
Raylan Givens, who is reassigned to his native Eastern Kentucky
Kentucky following a "justified", but questionable, quick-draw shooting of a criminal in Miami. There, he encounters many outlaw figures from his childhood, including his father and Boyd Crowder, with whom he dug coal as a teenager.[170] Olyphant was initially drawn to "the ease and the charm and the sort of old-fashionedness" of the character[148] but has said he does not consider him a "good guy."[61][170][171][172] The character of Raylan Givens
Raylan Givens was first created by novelist Elmore Leonard, appearing in his short story "Fire in the Hole," (2001) and the novels "Pronto" (1993) and "Riding the Rap" (1995). Leonard was an executive producer of Justified and befriended Olyphant;[173][174][175] his final novel, "Raylan" (2012), was inspired by the television show.[176]

Olyphant at the 70th Annual Peabody Awards in May 2011

Raylan Givens
Raylan Givens has been described by many television critics as the "defining role" of Olyphant's career.[61][177][178] Brian Lowry of Variety said it was "an unabashed star turn": "There are surely worse ways to be pigeonholed than playing tough, laconic lawmen, and Timothy Olyphant is carving himself a formidable niche in those confines ... It's an enormously appealing performance."[179] Tim Goodman of the San Francisco Chronicle praised "an incredibly riveting performance": "Olyphant's steely gaze, Zen interior and matinee looks called to mind a younger Clint Eastwood."[180] Daniel Fienberg of HitFix described him as "a tremendously compelling actor. It's not that he thrives only on minimalism, but he gets a lot out of a little. His performance is about potential energy, or potential violence. And Olyphant does "intense and coiled" to perfection."[181] Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe said: "It's hard to imagine any other actor in the part, as Olyphant milks Raylan's smooth, laconic cowboy style for as much wry humor as he can. He is riveting without a lot of noise — both his body language and his conversation are pared down, and yet his presence is always resonant."[182] Although Olyphant was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 2011,[183] he and the show were often perceived to have been "snubbed" by Emmy voters.[184][185][186][187] Matt Zoller Seitz of Vulture suggested this was because it was "the kind of performance that almost nobody recognizes as 'acting.' It's an old-fashioned movie hero performance in which much of the emotional action is internal and articulated with great subtlety."[188] Similarly, Robert Bianco of USA Today commented that his "masterfully complete immersion in the role seems to have masked the talent expended playing it."[189] Olyphant also served as a co-executive producer on Justified, working with Graham Yost
Graham Yost and the writing team on some of the show's storylines and coming to the set on his days off to work with guest stars.[61][148][190][191] He has described producing as "the greatest thing about this job."[171] Yost has said of his producer credit: "Often on shows that really doesn't mean much. On this show it actually doesn't reflect the depth of his involvement, which would be an even bigger credit. Tim is the biggest reminder for everyone that we're in the Elmore Leonard
Elmore Leonard world. And that it needs to be funny and dark and twisted, and it needs to speak with all of those voices at the same time."[61] Justified was awarded a Peabody Award
Peabody Award in 2011.[192] Olyphant made occasional guest appearances on comedy television shows during Justified's six-season run. He played a paper salesman in two episodes of the NBC
NBC comedy The Office (2010), after Mindy Kaling, a writer, producer and actress on the show, pushed for him to make a guest appearance.[193][194][195] In 2012, he played a character billed as White Sushi Chef in an episode of the FX sitcom The League (2012)[196] and voiced a character in an episode of the FX animated series Archer.[197][198] In 2013, he appeared as a love interest on the Fox comedy The Mindy Project. The guest appearance came about after he told Kaling that he wanted to appear on the show[199][200] and he later said he would have been happy to play his middle-aged skateboarder character for "years."[30][201][202] Olyphant also worked on numerous films in between seasons of Justified. He voiced the Spirit of the West in the animated film Rango (2011).[203][204] The character was a parody of Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name[205] and Olyphant was cast after director Gore Verbinski overheard him speaking on television: "I just sort of doubled back and looked through the door and was like, "That's our guy" ... Timothy has such a great quality to his voice."[206][207][208] Olyphant appeared as a mentor to Alex Pettyfer's character in the science-fiction thriller I Am Number Four (2011).[203] Justin Chang of Variety said he "brings some of his usual edge"[209] but Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times felt he was "an untapped resource."[210] Also in 2011, he voiced a character in the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.[211] In 2013, he appeared as Jeff Garlin's father in the independent comedy Dealin' with Idiots[212][213] and took part in a one-off LACMA Live Read
Live Read of the black comedy Raising Arizona
Arizona (1987); he played Nicholas Cage's character while Amy Poehler
Amy Poehler played Holly Hunter's character.[214][215] In 2014, Olyphant starred with Tina Fey in the ensemble comedy-drama This Is Where I Leave You. Their characters were teenage sweethearts until an accident left him with a mild brain injury. The film received mixed reviews,[216] with David Edelstein of Vulture commenting: "Over the course of his career, Olyphant has given life to head-slappingly bad material, and he does it again by simply underplaying."[217] 2015–present: Post-Justified roles[edit] Olyphant had a recurring guest role, as a fictionalized version of himself, in the Fox comedy The Grinder (2015–2016). His performance received positive critical notices,[218][219][220][221] with USA Today's Robert Bianco declaring it an "Emmy-deserving performance."[222] He won the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Guest Performer in a Comedy Series.[223] In early 2016, Olyphant starred in the world premiere of Kenneth Lonergan's comedy Hold on to Me Darling at the off-Broadway Atlantic Theater Company. His character, Strings McCrane, is a self-absorbed country singer and actor who returns to his Tennessee hometown following the death of his mother.[224][225] Ben Brantley of the New York Times
New York Times found him "entertainingly irritating" in a performance that "avoids the obvious route of histrionic posing": "The startling, bona fide sorrow that Mr. Olyphant brings to [the final scene] truly illuminates everything that has come before."[226] Frank Rizzo of Variety felt his performance was "a stunner, striking just the right notes of guilelessness, obliviousness and narcissism to make Strings one of the most appealing messes in a long time."[227] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter felt the role "seems tailor-made for his laid-back swagger and sly humor ... Olyphant's natural charm ensures that Strings' unapologetic self-absorption remains more human than monstrous."[228] He also played Henry, the ex-husband of Sandy (Jennifer Aniston), in the universally panned ensemble romantic comedy Mother's Day (2016)[229] and appeared in Oliver Stone's Snowden, as a CIA agent who befriended Snowden prior to the latter's departure to Russia after his leak of classified documents.[230] In February 2017, Olyphant joined the cast for the Netflix
Netflix series Santa Clarita Diet. In March 2017, Netflix
Netflix renewed the series for a second season.[231][232] Behold My Heart, an independent drama in which he starred with Marisa Tomei, was filmed in 2015 and is awaiting a release date.[233] In early 2016, HBO
HBO announced that David Milch
David Milch is developing a two-hour film version of Deadwood.[234] Olyphant is scheduled to portray an FBI agent in the film Driven, which is currently in post-production.[235] Personal life[edit] Olyphant married his college sweetheart Alexis Knief in 1991, at the age of 23.[1][34] They live in Westwood, Los Angeles
Westwood, Los Angeles and have three children: Grace Katherine (born 1999), Henry (born 2001) and Vivian (born 2003).[5][174][236] From 2006 to late 2008, Olyphant was the sports reporter for Joe Escalante's morning radio show on Los Angeles' Indie 103.1; film director David Lynch
David Lynch served as the show's weatherman.[237][238][239] Olyphant phoned the station every weekday, delivering his reports in an unconventional style.[26][50][240] Following the station's demise, he joked: "If you know of anyone looking for sports reports from an actor who is often just going off of what he recalls happened yesterday, or reading it directly from the newspaper, then I'm your guy."[241] He is also a keen tennis player,[242][243] and has participated in many pro-celebrity tournaments.[244][245][246][247] He is a fan of the Los Angeles Clippers[135][241] and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Dodgers game in 2013.[248] Filmography[edit] Film[edit]
