In 2007, Olyphant starred in Hitman and Live Free or Die Hard.

On television, Olyphant has enjoyed guest appearances on popular shows such as NBC's “My Name is Earl,” HBO's “Sex and the City” and ABC's “Samantha Who?” Olyphant garnered critical notice for his portrayal of the tough, honorable, natural born- leader “Seth Bullock” in HBO's groundbreaking “Deadwood.” The show was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild award for “Best Ensemble” for the third season.
