‘Fire Country’ Spin-Off Sheriff Country Casts Deadwood Star W. Earl Brown as Sheriff Mickey Fox’s Father
The Fire Country universe is expanding, and the newest addition to the Sheriff Country cast is a familiar face. Veteran actor W. Earl Brown, best known for his role in Deadwood, has been cast as Wes Fox—the off-the-grid, semi-reclusive father of Sheriff Mickey Fox.
A Deadwood Star Joins Edgewater
Bringing a touch of gritty gravitas, W. Earl Brown’s casting injects depth into the show’s family dynamics. His character, Wes, remains deeply connected to a marijuana-growing operation, creating a complex bond of love, tension, and illegality with his law-enforcing daughter, Mickey.
Setting the Tone with Family Conflict
Sheriff Mickey Fox must now navigate not only local crime in Edgewater but also her already strained relationship with her estranged father. Wes isn’t just an obstacle—he’s a man with charm and generosity toward his family, especially his granddaughter, even if his unreliable nature fuels conflict.
Expanding the Edgewater Universe
The spin-off, Sheriff Country, deepens the rich character tapestry introduced in Fire Country. Not only does it explore Mickey’s duties as a small-town sheriff, but it also delves into her conflicted home life—where law enforcement meets family loyalty in unpredictable ways.
