Olyphant played Seth Bullock, the hot-tempered but law-abidg mp sheriff, whose notns of right and wrong often ran afoul of Ian McShane's Machiavellian saloonkeeper, Al Swearengen. A cril favore for Milch's ornate dialogue and st of acplished players, "Deadwood" was only a most ratgs h, and the st of matag an entire town set led to s untimely mise after two seasons. But even wh the abbreviated n, the attentn afford by crics and dtry figur to "Deadwood" helped to boost Olyphant's profile om ic support to dramatic lead and -lead, which turn led to major rol a slew of motn pictur. The most succsful of the was undoubtedly "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007), whch st him as a cyber-terrorist pted agast Bce Willis' reluctant hero, but as before, Olyphant was the most notable element of films like "Hman" (2007), which afford him a rare lead; "The Perfect Getaway" (2009); "The Crazi" (2010) and "Elektra Luxx" (2010).
