who am i crushing on this week?
Name: fake-Seth Bullock (played by Timothy Olyphant) and fake-Sol Star (played by John Hawkes)
Occupation: Mr. Bullock is a former sheriff and both own Star & Bullock Hardware
Status: Bullock is married to his dead brother’s wife (and acting as father to her bastard kid), Star (as far as I know) is singling and mingling
Most known for: I don’t know, rolling up onto Deadwood and opening a shop, sending ladies into swoons and making dudes mad and jealous about it?
Recently known for: well, Bullock became buddies with fake-Wild Bill Hickok (played by Keith Carradine) and did some damage with him when he first came to town, while Sol kind of keeps to himself
Up next: Deadwood just formed a government, and the two dudes are holding down positions until everything is settled, I guess
Why you crushin’?: I’m about three episodes away from finishing season one of HBO’s Deadwood (have you gathered this yet?), and these two dudes were about the first characters introduced to us. They’ve got a sort of bromance about them that just makes them damn adorable, despite all of the murder and “cocksucker”ing that goes on in the rest of the show. The real Seth and Sol aren’t much to look at, so I much prefer the fake ones portrayed by real-life dreamboats Timothy and John.
P.S. Did you know that Timothy Olyphant is forty-one and John Hawkes is fifty fucking years old?!
P.P.S. You can see Mr. Olyphant in the upcoming movie The Crazies, out this Friday, and Mr. Hawkes play a weirdo named Lennon on the final season of LOST, Tuesday nights on ABC.
i loved john hawkes in ‘me and you and everyone we know’
Ooh, yes! Jeesh, I haven’t seen that movie in such a long time.
