The Wyoming Actor Who’s Been In Absolutely Everything

The Wyoming Actor Who’s Been In Absolutely Everything

AMC

Meet the actor who hails from Wyoming who has had a small roll, in basically every TV show you've ever watched...

Okay, that may be a bit dramatic. But, Laramie native Jim Beaver's resume is very long.

While Beaver hasn't had a lot of full time roles, he has appeared as a secondary character in dozens of shows over the last five decades.

"Breaking Bad," "Better Call Saul," "Longmire," "Mike & Molly," "Supernatural," "Bones," "NCIS," "The Middle," "Dexter," "The Mentalist," "CSI," "Deadwood," "Days Of Our Lives," "Tremors," "Star Trek: Enterprise," "That 70's Show," and "The X-Files" is just the beginning.

Check out Beaver's complete IMDB list for acting roles...
