Timothy Olyphant responds to rumor that Deadwood cancelation was due to panic over him buying a house

Rolling Stone

"I’ll tell you my version, and I already said this earlier: I fully understand that my memory of how it happened may not be how it happened, even for me," Olyphant says in a Rolling Stone interview. "This is a story I’ve told over the years and every time you tell it, it changes. And let me also preface this with, I’ve never been one to let truth get in the way of a good story. So, if you are holding onto facts and you’re going to call me on these facts, go f*ck yourself." Olyphant then explained how he had bought a house after negotiating a raise for Season 4. And just days later, he was informed by David Milch that the show was over. But, in fact, the show hadn't officially been canceled.
