The character of Cade Ward is going to be a fun one on the Deputy cast. Actor Brian Van Holt has taken on the part, and clips of his role appear to show that he could add toughness and some comedy to the program.

On January 2, the Deputy series premiere will hit FOX at 9/8c, kicking off what the network hopes to be a new and successful show with an intriguing premise.
As for the premise, the elected sheriff has been killed, forcing a new man to take the job that he never really wanted. That man is Bill Hollister, played by veteran actor Stephen Dorff.

Films that Van Holt recently appeared in include Wild, Den of Thieves, and Age of Summer. He also had smaller roles in the movies Windtalkers, Black Hawk Down, and S.W.A.T.
