Though Justified, and its pilot episode in particular, is based on Elmore Leonard’s 2001 short story "Fire in the Hole," Raylan Givens made his literary debut in 1993, as a character in Leonard’s novel Pronto, and again in 1995’s Riding the Rap.
In the early stages of production, the series’ working title was "Lawman." “And then Steven Seagal’s reality show [Steven Seagal: Lawman] came on and we felt that there would be too much confusion, so we had to come up with something else,” series creator Graham Yost told IESB in 2010. “And someone at FX came up with Justifiedbecause it was used as...
“Elmore was an influence—or at least someone I aspired to emulate—even before Justified,” Yost told TV Dudeswhen asked about the writers that inspired him.
Yost’s first paying gig in Hollywood was as a writer on the Nickelodeon series Hey Dude, which ran from 1989 to 1991. “It was very low-budget,” Yost recalled to A.V. Clubin 2013. “We were shooting on location at a real dude ranch in Tucson, so it looked pretty good for the paltry sum. We’d shoot an episode in three days so we were shooting 10 to 15...
Shortly after his Hey Dude gig ended, Yost spent a couple of months as a writer on Full House. “I was on Full House for nine and a half weeks,” Yost told A.V. Club. “I was hired on a probationary period of 10 weeks, and I quit four days before I was going to be fired. It’s funny, I’ve run into Dennis Rinsler, who was one of the showrunners there wi...
Before his passing, Leonard was very vocal about being a fan of Justified—particularly with the way that Olyphant interpreted the character of Raylan. In 2012, The Wall Street Journal asked Leonard whether the series had influenced the way he visualized the character in his writing, to which he responded: “No, because Tim Olyphant plays the charact...
James LeGros got there first, playing Raylan Givens in the 1997 TV movie adaptation of Pronto. And LeGros has popped up on Justified, too: In 2011, he began a recurring role as small-potato criminal Wade Messer.
“When I read Elmore’s story 'Fire in the Hole,' and I got to the character of Art Mullen, I just knew that that would be Nick Searcy,” Yost told IESB. “I worked with him on From the Earth to the Moon, and he’s from the South and he has that avuncular, good sense of humor and yet is believable as a boss.”
“I've known Walt for years, and when we first mentioned the idea of him playing Boyd, he had concerns—the stereotype of the Southern racist and all that,” Olyphant recently told Rolling Stone. “He's from the region [Goggins was raised in Georgia] so he was sensitive about putting that out there in a one-dimensional way. You know, a lot of actors, w...
It’s hard to imagine Justified without the frenemy friction between Raylan and Boyd. But even when the series began shooting, the plan was for Boyd to be killed off in the pilot. “Walton Goggins was initially resistant to the idea of playing Boyd, but we talked him into it,” Yost told IESB. “And that became a huge get for the show because he really...
