Modesto-bred Timothy Olyphant is about to wreak ‘Havoc’ in Netflix thriller
Modesto-bred actor Timothy Olyphant has a “malevolent” role in a Netflix movie premiering Friday, April 25.
R-rated “Havoc” stars Tom Hardy as “a jaded detective” who tangles with mob figures, according to a story on UPROXX.
“With a 105-minute runtime, Havoc is described as ‘a high octane action thriller’ with a malevolent Timothy Olyphant included as a bonus,” according to the story.
It’s directed by Gareth Evans, who won acclaim for his action flick “The Raid: Redemption” and its sequel.
After a drug deal that went wrong, Hardy’s character “finds himself with a number of factions on his tail; a vengeful crime syndicate, a crooked politician, as well as his fellow cops,” according to a synopsis posted in the UPROXX story.
Olyphant, who was nominated for an Emmy Award for his starring role in the FX series “Justified,” plays a character named Vincent, according to IMDb.com.
“Havoc” also stars Forest Whitaker, Luis Guzmán, Jessie Mei Li, Justin Cornwell, Quelin Sepulveda, Jim Caesar, Xelia Mendes-Jones, Michelle Waterson, Sunny Pang and Yeo Yann Yann, according to the UPROXX story.
The Netflix film is just one of several projects coming up for Beyer High graduate Olyphant, according to IMDb.

Olyphant will play the extraterrestrial Kirsh in “Alien: Earth” on the FX network and Hulu streaming service. It’s expected to debut this summer as a prequel to the “Aliens” franchise.
He’ll play a crime syndicate boss in the comedy thriller “Beef,” which has no release date listed on IMDB.
In the limited Apple+ drama series “Lucky,” Olyphant will play the father of “a young woman (Anya Taylor-Joy) who left behind the life of crime she was raised in years ago and now embraces her darker criminal side one final time...,” according to a story on Deadline.
