Vivian Olyphant, the daughter of Timothy Olyphant, has the role of his character's Raylan Givens' daughter in in "Justified: City Primeval"
On the nepo baby debate, she says "Yeah, I knew about the “nepo baby” and that world, but it’s a very normal thing for a child to be interested in something that their parents are doing, especially if it’s something as fun as acting. Having a parent that acts and knows the job and is supportive of it just makes it a lot better. So I knew about all that, but I’m just not paying attention to those comments."
She says she went to Berklee in Boston for one year, and her parents told her on a call that were casting for the role of Willa on "Justified", she expressed interest and they helped shot her audition tape. "I think they usually tell working actors two weeks after they audition, but they knew I didn’t have anything else going on, so I heard back about a month after or maybe a little bit longer. It was a while until I heard back."
She has never watched the show because she doesn't watch projects her father stars in, "But I knew what the show is about, and I visited the set growing up, so I knew the creatives on the team, too."
