This actor got his start playing good guys and is now breaking bad... really bad.
If you are a die-hard television fan, then you were probably first introduced to the outstanding work of Boyd Holbrook way back in 2015, when he played DEA agent Steve Murphy in the immensely popular Netflix drama Narcos. Starring opposite Pedro Pascal, Holbrook also narrated the first two seasons of the show and more than held his own as the American agent tabbed with taking down the powerful cartel kingpin Pablo Escobar in Colombia during the '70s and '80s.
We're not saying that Holbrook has been pigeonholed or a one-trick pony by any means — far from it, in fact. If you find your niche within the exclusive world of famous and successful actors in Hollywood, you might as well ride the wave as long as possible. As long as studios want to keep cutting checks for Holbrook's dastardly deeds, we think he should take them all and run to the bank with his trademark devilish grin still on his face as he hands it to the teller .
Holbrook is as smooth as a 20-year-old scotch and as effortless in his line delivery. You can take the laid-back boy out of Kentucky, but you can't take the steely suave Kentuckian out of the boy, and we wouldn't have it any other way. That delightfully dastardly drawl is another part of what makes him so believable. It's a very natural and organic part of the package that Holbrook brings to the table.
Meanwhile, Neil Gaiman, who wrote and developed The Sandman, is unquestionably one of the best, most acclaimed writers of fiction over the last 50 years. Getting to act out adaptations based on source material from artists of their caliber isn't a huge ask — and Holbrook has been able to capitalize on it in recent years. Even Donald Pierce in Logan is attached to the X-Men universe and rooted in a masterful screenplay from Scott Frank, James Mangold, and Michael Green.
