Olyphant to Star in FX's 'Fire in the Hole'

This sounds like an interesting show and with Sons of Anarchy, Nip/Tuck and Rescue Me, FX is pretty much my favorite network as is and this might just strengthen that. I really liked Olyphant on Deadwood and this sounds like a little bit like Bullock in the modern day. What does everybody else think?

Timothy Olyphant (Hitman, Live Free or Die Hard, "Deadwood") has been set to play the lead in FX's drama pilot based on Elmore Leonard's short story "Fire in the Hole," says The Hollywood Reporter.

The untitled project, from Sony TV, Timberman/Beverly Productions and creator/executive producer Graham Yost, centers on U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Olyphant) who returns to his hometown in Kentucky.

"He has a certain jaggedness, but he also loves his job," Yost said. "He is like an anachronism: He wears a hat, cowboy boots and a holster on his hip. It's a little bit like he was born 100 years too late."

The pilot, to be directed by Michael Dinner, starts production at the end of May
