Timothy Olyphant revealed he had to resurrect an old computer in an attempt to log on to the "SmartLess" podcast. Ultimately, he wound up using a friend's office to make the interview happen.
"I needed a computer," Olyphant, 58, told hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes. "I guess you can't do your show if you don't own a computer." As the hosts pressed him, Olyphant doubled down on his surprisingly low-tech lifestyle. "We went… I had a… we went and got out an old desktop computer that we still have in the house and plugged it in and started it up, and they were all USB things."

In an earlier episode Boon (played by Jonathan Tucker) explains his preference for head shots because he can never assume an opponent isn’t wearing a vest or Kevlar.
Well, he found out the hard way the disadvantage of the head shot.
The bad guy in Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
Timothy Olyphant was asked the same question and he said the guy who played Constable Bob.
I think the best was to answer that is “People say it’s me” in a funny way.
And yet his character, Kirsh, in “Alien:Earth” *is* a computer.
He is currently playing the con-artist dad in the new Apple TV mini-series “Lucky” which I am really enjoying...action packed. I’ve always enjoyed his acting. He is a descendant of the Vanderbilt family by the way...
Goggins had one acting role — In The Heat of the Night tv series — before he had his teeth capped. He’s made quite a career out of the spiky hair and them pearly whites.
Justified wouldn’t have been nearly as watchable without his portrayal of a suave hillbilly criminal mastermind.
I actually liked the 'Constable Bob' character a lot... Only found out later that Patton Oswalt, the actor playing that character, was an absolute leftist, vile, MAGA hating idiot. So, Olyphant was likely right about that.
He may not own a computer, but I’ll bet he has a cellphone.
He also starred in Deadwood. Another excellent series.
More recently he starred with Drew Barrymore in a comedy entitled Santa Clarita or something similar. I thought it was going to be stupid but it was pretty funny.
Absolutely loved “Justified”. The sequel sucked.
He was also in Live Free or Die Hard w/Bruce Willis. And he was in the AI flop Havoc w/Tom Hardy.
Oh, and Gone In 60 Seconds w/nick cage
Close enough for hand grenades
The commercial Olyphant family was a proud entity in 19th Century China as it refused to traffic in opium.
These days a computer is not enough. I need a smartphone for two stage verification for many sites. I have 7 financial sites. They are all set to require two stage verification for me to log on .... banks / credit cards etc
I am not complaining, I like my smart phone/android/Samsung /not an elite model Samsung. I do zero financial sites on my phone with their bullshit “apps”. These are all done on my desktop computer or latitude laptop.
The Crazies was actually pretty good.

I like him - good actor and reminds me, in some ways, of Keanu Reeves, who is as down to earth as they come.
A good actor and a real fine American.
Played in the movie “Hitman” too. Not too shabby a movie too.
