Sheriff Bill Hollister is the main character on Deputy, a new show debuting on FOX. Hollister starts the show as a deputy but is forced to take over a new role when the sheriff is killed.
The first episode of the new drama takes place on Thursday, January 2 at 9/8c on FOX. It’s a show that the network has been promoting a lot, so it will be interesting to see if that turns into some great ratings.
As for the character of Bill Hollister, he brings a lot of toughness to the screen, and the early trailers for the show make it look like he is ready to do the job in his way. That is likely to lead to pushback from other brass, but that’s what ends up making a show like this work with viewers.
Who plays Sheriff Bill Hollister on Deputy?
Actor Stephen Dorff stars as the main character of the show. He has been acting for a long time and recently showed what he could do in a role with a badge.
