Justified: City Primeval Cast -Where is Boyd Crowder?

Much like his co-star Marin Ireland, Williams was also on Sneaky Pete as Richard. This should come as no real surprise, as executive producer and creator of Justified, Graham Yost was also a producer on the Prime Video show, and clearly enjoys working with the same group of actors. Williams has made a career of playing larger than life lawmen – the 6’5” behemoth has played a cop in Profiler, Cop Land, Flight of the Conchords, NYC 22, The Blacklist, Hunters, as well as a lengthy stint on The Affair as Detective Jeffries in all four seasons of that show. 

Norbert Leo Butz as Norbert

The irony of often playing edgy tough guys when your name is Norbert is only compounded when you’re playing a tough guy named Norbert. Norbert is one of Raylan’s allies in the Detroit Police Department, but like so many lawmen that Raylan came across in his native Kentucky, there’s a bit too much renegade in Norbert. Much like Raylan, Norbert is all about his sense of justice, and is a constant reminder that occasionally these officers and marshals have to pull themselves back before they cross a moral line.

Butz has predominantly made a name for himself on the small screen, with recurring appearances in The Girl From Plainville, Debris as well as playing Paddy Chayefskey in the Fosse/Verdon mini-series. Butz is no doubt best known for playing the damaged youngest brother Kevin Rayburn in Bloodline. He gave a standout performance in a loaded cast, and brings some of that same energy to his character in City Primeval. 

Keith David as Judge Alvin Guy

Judge Guy is at the center of this entire story. He is the one so unimpressed by Givens’ conduct as a Marshal, that he insists the sarcastic lawman stick around to learn a thing or two. As the series unfolds, it appears that Judge Guy, much like Sweetie, has been keeping an ear to the ground to learn the city’s darkest secrets, and that knowledge could possibly be his undoing, or the undoing of those around him. 

The silver-throated David has been a mainstay of classic sci-fi and horror with roles in They Live and The Thing fairly early in his career, and a recent return to that genre in Jordan Peele’s Nope. Yet it is his work as a voice over artist that makes Keith David a part of so many childhoods. Voicing Goliath in Gargoyles, the titular character in Spawn, Dr. Facilier in The Princess and the Frog, and has featured regularly in Rick and Morty, David’s iconic voice has given him dozens of memorable animated characters over the years.
