Timothy Olyphant, best known for his roles in Justified and Deadwood, recently shared his struggle with technology on the SmartLess podcast. The 58-year-old actor revealed his reliance on an old desktop computer to access the podcast, using a friend’s office to complete the interview.

Olyphant admitted to not owning a computer, a surprising fact given his celebrity status. When hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes raised questions, Olyphant stood by his minimalist tech lifestyle. “I got a phone and I got a thing,” he remarked, emphasizing simplicity.

Despite Bateman’s disbelief and comments about the advantages of tablets and stylus pens, Olyphant explained that his desktop had been long abandoned, gathering dust for years. He jokingly referred to the effort needed to resuscitate the old device as more challenging than anticipated. “There’s a lot of sacrifices that went into this,” he remarked.

Beyond the podcast difficulties, Bateman also questioned Olyphant on his thoughts about the digital world and artificial intelligence. Olyphant, however, maintained that smartphones provided all the necessary access.

Known for his breakout role in the film Go (1999) and memorable performances in shows like Santa Clarita Diet, The Mandalorian, and The Book of Boba Fett, Olyphant remains a beloved figure in Hollywood. Despite the pressure to adopt new technologies, he seems content with a simpler approach, focusing more on his craft than gadgets.
