Armchair Expert episode 927
Timothy Olyphant
Timothy Olyphant (Alien: Earth, Deadwood, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) is an Emmy Award-nominated actor. Timothy joins the Armchair Expert to discuss whether he gives middle child vibes, the benefits of being a skills generalist, and why his smile always designated him as the “talk-to-the-cops guy.” Timothy and Dax talk about how knocking things off balance a little bit can create a lovely vulnerable moment, invoking Lou Reed and Bob Dylan as interview inspiration, and being the favorite co-star of so many talented actors. Timothy explains that there’s a judo to rejecting someone while giving them something, asking the small questions like what is humanity and is it worth saving in Alien: Earth, and finding a space where you help others by doing the thing you do.
