He studied creative writing and English with a concentration in screenwriting at Southern New Hampshire University and interned as a writer/journalist for The Borgen Project, an influential organization that fights global poverty. However, one of his proudest achievements is editing a Leonardo DiCaprio freakout compilation that has over 150K views on YouTube. Adam also fancies himself an amateur film critic on his personal website. Timothy Olyphant has starred in a wide range of TV shows, mainly Westerns, including HBO's Deadwood (2004–2006) and FX's Justified (2010–2015), Fargo season 4, The Mandalorian season 2 (both 2020), and The Book of Boba Fett (2021). He also frequently appears in comedies like The Office (2010), The Mindy Project (2013), Santa Clarita Diet (2017–2019), The Good Place, and Curb Your Enthusiasm season 10 (both 2020). Olyphant also appears in Stick, Apple TV's hit sports comedy starring Owen Wilson as Pryce Cahill, also known as the Stick, a former professional golfer whose career was derailed years earlier and now works as a golf-club salesman and coach. Olyphant stars as Clark Ross, Pryce's former playing partner and rival. Olyphant's Stick Has Its Eyes Set On Apple TV's Top 10 Ahead of season 2's premiere on November 4, Stick is No. 9 on Apple TV's Top 10 TV shows in the United States as of today, October 7, where it has been for a total of 96 days. It ranks below Ted Lasso, Slow Horses, Brothers, Silo, Last Seen, Widow's Bay, Dark Matter, Shrinking, and above Your Friends & Neighbors at No. 10. Stick reviews were mostly positive when it premiered back in June 2025, resulting in an 81% Rotten Tomatoes score, with critics praising Owen Wilson's laid-back charisma, and though the show follows a familiar sports-comedy formula, its easy-going humor and warm charm make for an entertaining round that stays comfortably below par. It also has a 72% audience score. Stick's cast also includes Peter Dager, Lilli Kay, Mariana Treviño, Marc Maron, and Judy Greer in main roles. Aaron Douglas, Donavon Stinson, Rob Benedict, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, and Mackenzie Astin appear as guest stars, while Jim Nantz, Trevor Immelman, Keegan Bradley, Wyndham Clark, Max Homa, Brad Dalke, and Collin Morikawa play themselves. Billy Zane and John Higgins have joined season 2 in recurring roles. Where Did Season 1 Leave The Hit Series? Stick season 1's ending sees Pryce hitting a perfect drive, strongly hinting at his own potential return to the PGA Tour or some kind of renewed competitive spark. Pryce also confronts his rival Clark Ross and shares a deeply bittersweet moment with his ex-wife, Amber-Linn (Judy Greer), as they acknowledge the heavy grief and history they carry following the death of their young son. While Timothy Olyphant and Judy Greer appeared in season 1 in recurring roles, they have been upgraded to main cast members for season 2, suggesting that their characters, Clark Ross and Amber-Linn, will play much bigger roles when Stick returns to Apple TV on November 4.
