Character player Garret Dillahunt appeared onscreen from the late '90s, and -- though versatile -- often displayed a predilection for evocations of slightly rugged types. Early in his career, Dillahunt essayed a string of guest portrayals on series including NYPD Blue and The X-Files, and signed on as a fixture on less successful series outings such as Maximum Bob (1998), Leap Years (2001), and A Minute with Stan Hooper (2003). When these programs folded not long after they first bowed, Dillahunt continued to find work on the small screen, appearing in multiple episodes of such series as ER (2005-2006), The 4400 (2005-2006), John from Cincinnati (2007), and Damages (2007), in such a variety of characterizations that his versatility as an actor was clearly notable. Dillahunt's ability to disappear into a role lead to him portraying not one but two memorable characters on HBO's critically acclaimed Western series Deadwood; his evocation of Wild Bill Hickock murderer Jack McCall so impressed the series' producers that he was brought back the next season to portray George Hearst's emissary Francis Wolcott (who was also secretly a serial killer). The next year, the actor's evocation of Jesus on Jack Kenny, Flody Suarez, and John Tinker's risky comedy drama series The Book of Daniel (2006) brought him lead billing, but the program never caught fire with the public. In 2007, Dillahunt transitioned to features and appeared in at least two A-list theatrical releases: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and the Coen Brothers' No Country for Old Men. For No Country, Dillahunt and his co-stars picked up a Screen Actors Guild nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. He appeared in the short-lived HBO surfing series John From Cincinnati, and had a recurring role on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. In 2009 he starred in the big-screen remake of Last House on the Left, and had a small role in The Road. In 2010 he landed the role of the grandfather of the title character on the FOX sitcom Raising Hope, which turned into a ratings hit. He was one of the stars in the drama Any Day Now as a gay lawyer attempting to adopt a child.

QUOTES FROM Garret Dillahunt CHARACTERS
Wendell says: You think this boy Moss has got any notion of the sorts of sons of bitches that're huntin' him?
Sheriff Ed Tom Bell says: I don't know, he ought to. He's seen the same things I've seen, and it's certainly made an impression on me.
Wendell says: Well, it's a mess..ain't it sherrif?
Wendell says: Well, it's a mess... ain't it sherrif?
Sheriff Ed Tom Bell says: If it ain't, it'll do till the mess gets here.
Sheriff Ed Tom Bell says: That look like a '77 Ford to you Wendell?
Wendell says: It could be.
Sheriff Ed Tom Bell says: I'd say it is not a doubt in my mind.
Wendell says: Well it's a mess ain't it sheriff?
Sheriff Ed Tom Bell says: If it ain't it'll do till the mess gets here.
The Gang Member says: You ain't gonna shoot that thing. You ain't got but two shells. Maybe one. And they'll hear the shot.
The Man says: Maybe. But you won't. Because that bullet will be through your head and in your brain before you can hear it. To hear it, you'll need a frontal lobe, and things with names like "colliculus" and "temporal gyrus". And you won't have 'em anymore, because they'll just be soup.
The Gang Member says: You a doctor?
The Man says: I'm not anything.
The Man says: You think I won't kill you? You're wrong.
The Gang Member says: You know what I think? I think you're chicken-shit. You never killed a man in your life.
The Man says: You look at him again, I'll shoot you in the head.
The Gang Member says: That boy looks hungry. Why don't ya'll come on to the truck? Get you somethin' to eat. Ain't no need to be such a hard-ass.
The Man says: You don't have anything to eat.
Wendell says: It's a mess, ain't it Sheriff?
Wendell says: It's a mess, ain't it, sheriff?
Sheriff Ed Tom Bell says: If it ain't it'll do til a mess gets here.
Sheriff Ed Tom Bell says: If it ain't, it'll do till the mess gets here.
Justin says: Dad, look, I was just trying to liquidate some of the..
Krug says: Liquidate. Wow. Is that my word or yours?
Wendell says: Aw, hells bells. They even shot the dog!
