In the 2000s, Garret Dillahunt established himself as a talent to be reckoned with, even in supporting roles, wowing viewers and peers alike in two wholly different, unrelated roles on the groundbreaking HBO series "Deadwood" (2004-06), and going on to build an eclectic résumé by working with some of the top producers and directors in premium television and indie films. A graduate of New York University's prestigious theater school, Dillahunt paid his dues in the proverbial trenches of the acting world, including live theater, soaps, some recurring roles on forgettable sitcoms and the odd indie film, before delivering a breakthrough performance on the Showtime series, "Leap Years" (2001-02). Producer David Milch would give Dillahunt's talents their biggest showcase then to date on "Deadwood," where the actor played two successive characters, both scurrilous scoundrels yet both so distinct that even diehard viewers failed to notice it was the same actor. He went on to stand out in turns as a Terminator in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" (Fox, 2008-09) and a violent sociopath in the 2009 feature remake of "Last House On the Left," becoming a specialist in ultra-creepy villains. Still, he would defy typecasting, winning critical praise as a dryly funny pool-cleaning dad on the quirky Fox comedy series "Raising Hope" (2010-14) and winning indie film leads in John Sayles' feature "Amigo" (2010) and the dark suspense thriller "Oliver Sherman" (2010). With each new outing, Dillahunt built up a sterling reputation as one of the most flexible character actors in Hollywood.

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?

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?

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!
