Timothy Olyphant is currently starring in the Emmy® award winning show "Deadwood" on HBO created by David Milch. Timothy plays 'Seth Bullock', the famous Marshall from Montana, who came to the rouge town of Deadwood to instill some law and order. Season two airs in March 2005.
Last year Timothy received critical acclaim for his performance in THE GIRL NEXT DOOR opposite Elisha Cuthbert and Emile Hirsch for Fox / New Regency. Timothy also starred in Warner Bros. 'Dreamcatcher' opposite Morgan Freeman which Larry Kasdan directed. Olyphant received great notice as the drug dealer 'Todd Gaines' in Doug Liman's critically applauded film "Go."
Olyphant also starred in the Sony Classics film "The Broken Hearts Club" which told the story of a close-knit group of young gay men, who struggled to cope with their identity and found comfort in playing together on a softball team. The film also starred Dean Cain and John Mahoney.
Olyphant was born in Hawaii and raised in California. He studied fine art and theatre at the University of Southern California and after graduation moved to New York to enroll in William Esper's acting program. It was in New York that his acting career began. He received the World Theatre Award for Outstanding Debut Performance - and award previously won by Al Pacino and Alan Alda - for his role as 'Tim Hapgood' in the Playwright Horizon's "The Monogamist" written by Christopher Kyle.
He went on to star in David Sedaris' one-man production, "Santaland Diaries", at the Atlantic Theatre and later returned to the Playwright Horizon to star in "Plunge", also written by Christopher Kyle.
Prior to acting, Olyphant swam competitively at USC and was a U.S. National Finalist in the 200 individual Medley.
