Tommy Lee Jones Cast In Season 2 of the FX Series THE LOWDOWN - His First TV Appearance in Almost 40 Years
Emmy and Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive) is the newest actor to join the cast of FX‘s The Lowdown for Season 2. Jones is the second casting of the season so far, following Betty Gilpin (GLOW).
From creator Sterlin Harjo, the first season of The Lowdown follows the gritty exploits of citizen journalist Lee Raybon (Ethan Hawke), a self-proclaimed Tulsa “truthstorian” whose obsession with the truth is always getting him into trouble. While Lee’s no idealist, he’s fiercely committed to exposing corruption and unearthing the city’s hidden rot, even when it puts him at risk.
In Season 1, the publication of Lee’s latest exposé – a deep dive into the powerful Washberg family – is immediately followed by the suspicious suicide of Dale Washberg (Tim Blake Nelson), and Lee knows he’s stumbled onto something big. Following a trail of breadcrumbs Dale has left behind, urging someone to dig deeper into the circumstances surrounding his death, Lee does just that.
The first season also starred Keith David and featured guest stars Kyle MacLachlan, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Michael “Killer Mike” Render, Kaniehtiio Horn, Tracy Letts, Peter Dinklage and the late Graham Greene. The acclaimed Western noir series was renewed for a second season in January, with production set to take place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this spring.
