While the cast of Sheriff Country faces thrilling cases and complex relationships in Edgewater, the actors’ real-life love stories are filled with sweet and enduring romances. Here’s an exclusive look at the strong support systems behind the Sheriff Country stars:
1. Morena Baccarin (as Sheriff Mickey Fox) & Ben McKenzie
Our lead actress doesn’t need to look far to find someone who understands her work. Morena Baccarin is happily married to actor Ben McKenzie (star of Gotham and The O.C.). The couple fell in love while working together on the 2014 film Gotham and officially tied the knot in 2017. Currently, they are raising three children together in New York, and Morena has shared that Ben’s support motivated her to take on the role of Mickey Fox despite her incredibly busy filming schedule.
2. Christopher Gorham (as Travis Fraley) & Anel Lopez
In the film, Travis may be Mickey’s troublesome ex-husband, but in real life, Christopher Gorham has an admirable marriage that has lasted over two decades. He married actress Anel Lopez in 2000. The couple have three children: Lucas, Ethan, and Jamie. On social media, Christopher often showers his wife with praise, calling her “the light in the room” and the best companion throughout his career.
3. Matt Lauria (as Deputy Boone) & Michelle Armstrong
Actor Matt Lauria has a romantic, movie-like love story with his wife, Michelle Armstrong. The couple first met at Denver airport when they were both 16 years old. Later, they coincidentally met again and started dating at age 17 while both were doing summer jobs in Colorado (Matt worked on a farm, and Michelle was a whitewater rafting instructor). To this day, Matt still considers marrying Michelle the “greatest achievement” of his life.
4. W. Earl Brown (as Wes Fox) & Carrie Paschall
The actor who played Mickey’s troublesome father also has a lasting love in real life. W. Earl Brown and his wife, Carrie Paschall, were childhood sweethearts from high school in Kentucky. They married in July 1989 and have been together for over 35 years. The couple has a daughter named Anna, who currently owns a vintage fashion brand in Oregon.
5. Michele Weaver (as Deputy Cassidy) & Her Mysterious Husband
Michele Weaver is the most private of the cast regarding her personal life. She married in December 2020 in a private ceremony amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Although she frequently shares happy moments and calls her husband her “anchor,” “leader,” and “best friend,” Michele chooses to keep his identity and name private to protect the privacy of her family.
