Timothy Olyphant Joins ‘Damages’
Following the addition earlier this month of A-List movie actor William Hurt in a role as a new client of Patty Hewes, FX’s legal drama Damages has now thrown Deadwood star Timothy Olyphant into the mix.
The newcomer will play a romantic interest for Rose Byrne’s Ellen Parsons, whose former significant other was brutally murdered during the series’ first season.
Olyphant’s last television gig was a one-time guest-star appearance on the ABC sitcom Samantha Who?, starring Christina Applegate. The fact that he’s going from a lighthearted comedy to a hard-hitting drama demonstrates his versatility, which should help him fit in well with series star Glenn Close and the rest of the Damages cast. Loved him in the movie Hitman, too.
