Why Doc Holliday From Wynonna Earp Looks So Familiar

Camping under the starry sky as coyotes howl, ragtime music spilling out the doors of a saloon, tense shootouts on dusty town roads — these are all things most people would associate with westerns. Although the genre isn't as prevalent as it once was, there's a certain, undeniable appeal to stories set in the open expanse of the Wild West. Indeed, new westerns pop up every now and again, though they have a tendency to put some sort of spin on things to keep the genre fresh.

Wynonna Earp is the perfect example. Based on the comic book series of the same name by Beau Smith, it follows the life of the titular great-great-granddaughter of Wyatt Earp, the lawman and gunslinger of O.K. Corral fame. Wynonna's family legacy has come back to haunt her — literally, in the form of resurrected outlaws her great-great-grandfather originally put down. Her mission: put them down again, with the help of Wyatt's revolver, "Peacemaker."

Of course, a lone woman and her gun aren't going to be enough to win the day. That's why, after joining the Black Badge Division, Wynonna works with the likes of Doc Holliday — the same dentist-turned-gunslinger who once fought alongside her ancestor, alive and well. If the actor who portrays the immortal cowboy, Tim Rozon, seems familiar, here's where you may have seen him before.

For every rags to riches story, there's a riches to rags tale like Schitt's Creek. It begins when the prominent and wealthy Rose family has the rug pulled out from underneath them, losing both their video rental store (because Netflix wasn't always a thing, kids) and the fortune that came with it. Left with no choice but to set sail and start over, the Roses move to the titular Schitt's Creek, a small town that patriarch Johnny (Eugene Levy) purchased some years before. There, they meet the Schitts, who run everything from the motel the Roses are staying at to the town council.

Mutt (Rozon) is something of an exception to the rule. The long-estranged son of Mayor Roland Schitt (Chris Elliott) and his wife Jocelyn (Jennifer Robertson), he doesn't do anything particularly special around town. His most noteworthy attributes are his good looks and extremely quiet demeanor — the former of which is largely appreciated by the women of Schitt's Creek, the latter of which is not. Alexis Rose (Annie Murphy) falls for the trap nonetheless, only to find how fruitless it is having a conversation with a brick wall, no matter how well the bricks are laid. Rozon's grounded performance is a standout on a show rife with comedy.
