I'm only going to include the shows and movies where he had a decent size or big role, so I won't include movies and shows I've seen where I don't remember him being in them.

1. Boyd Crowder (Justified)
2. Lee Russell (Vice Principals)
3. Shane Vendrell (The Shield)
4. Baby Billy Freeman (The Righteous Gemstones)
5. Chris Mannix (The Hateful Eight)
6. Skinny Man (Fatman)
7. Stans (Predators)
8. Sonny Burch (Ant-Man and the Wasp)
9. Warden Nigel James (G.I. Joe: Retaliation)
10. Billy Crash (Django Unchained)
11. Mathias Vogel (Tomb Raider)
12. Laughter (American Ultra)

Note: I've only seen the first season of The Righteous Gemstones. It's possible Baby Billy will climb higher as I watch more of the show. But this is my ranking based on what I've seen so far.

I know he's in Sons of Anarchy. I just couldn't get into that show much. I had friends who liked it, and I saw some episodes here and there. It just seemed kind of cheesy to me.

My quick review of all 7 seasons of The Shield:

By the time I got to the final episode, I was skeptical that they could tie up so many things in just one episode. But they did, and I thought the finale was very satisfying. Seeing Vic get basically chained to a desk job doing paperwork for 3 years and losing his family was pretty hilarious. Seeing Claudette lose her shit when she saw Vic confessing and getting immunity was hilarious.

Seeing Vic sell out Ronnie who is the only one to really go down for the crimes (aside from Shane who NOPE'd out with his family) was pretty fucked up.

Armadillo getting shanked/killed in prison was great. Antwon Mitchell finally going down was cool.

It was cool seeing Daniel Dae Kim, Ken Jeong, Michael Pena, and Gus from The Wire in the show. Glenn Close was good in the one season she was in, and I'm not normally much of a Glenn Close fan.

Seeing Vic win over Forest Whitaker was awesome. Shane killing Lem was fucked up. Almost equally as fucked up was Shane letting Vic kill someone else he thought killed Lem.

Corrine and Mara are worthless and probably caused at least 40% of the problems lol.

I'm glad they ditched the subplot of Julien being gay pretty fast, because that shit was mad boring. Also, it was creepy seeing Julien propped up as one of the few mostly moral people on the show when the actor who played him would later go on to murder his wife.

I'm just not a fan of Ron Perlman, and I can't really get into the whole biker gang thing. I did like seeing Chester from Wolf of Wall Street in some of the episodes I watched, but overall I thought the show was kind of corny. I also have zero interest in seeing Walton Goggins play a trans prostitute.

I haven't seen that movie since it first came out on DVD lol, and I don't remember him being in it since it's been so long.

Off the top of my head, I would say season 4 > 7 > 2 = 3 = 5 = 7 >1

4 and 7 were the big standouts for me with 4 being my favorite. 1 was the worst. The rest were about on par with each other for me.

I never did finish all of Justified (I think), but he was pretty good in it.

He's insufferable IRL, and I can't really take him seriously as an actor either.

It's now in my top 10 shows of all time; possibly in my top 5. I'd have to think about it some more.

I guess I'll go back to rewatching Justified starting from Season 2 since there's nothing else good to watch on Hulu that I can think of.

I need to give Justified another chance. I only saw a few episodes back in the day and it didnt grab me. Ive since seen more things with Oliphant,Olyph,Eleph

the dude from Deadwood and now might have more appreciation of it.

Season 1 is the worst, because it's almost like House in that just about every episode is formulaic (catching the bad guy of the week). Season 2 sees a massive improvement, and IIRC it's the season that won an emmy for Margo Martindale.

IMO, the show only gets better from there. It's definitely worth watching.
