For the record, we really aren't whistling Dixie about McNairy's face popping up all over the place of late. Even a casual glance at the actor's IMDb page is enough to leave one believing that McNairy may well be the hardest working man in showbiz. That's in no small part due to the actor's obvious penchant for claiming supporting roles on TV series big and small. In fact, that's sort of been his modus operandi since he turned up in Tinseltown, with the actor making brief appearances on such lauded shows as Six Feet Under, How I Met Your Mother, The Shield, Bones, and Fargo before landing his gig on Netflix's bracing south of the border drama.
Most recently, McNairy went full Western on the small screen, delivering a memorable turn as the Sheriff of the ill-fated LaBelle, New Mexico, in Netflix's tragically underseen Godless. He also delivered a heart-wrenching performance as the troubled father to two lost children in the mostly brilliant third season of HBO's anthology crime series True Detective. While we wholly recommend that you go off and spend a little time binging both of those series (maybe skipping True Detective's second season), if you want to see McNairy at his absolute best, you're going to want to head over to Netflix this instant and add the actor's AMC series Halt and Catch Fire to your queue.
Set in the 1980s, Halt and Catch Fire follows a small group of insiders (Lee Pace, Mackenzie Davis, Kerry Bishé, and Toby Huss) as they traverse the treacherous early days of the personal computing era. You're just gonna have to trust us when we say that the show is far more fascinating than that description might make it sound.
