Hugh Dillon

Combining acting with a distinguished career as a singer songwriter, Hugh Dillon earned notoriety in his multi-platinum punk rock band. It was early in the band's success when Hugh caught the attention of filmmaker Bruce McDonald, who cast him in the 1996 film Hard Core Logo. Quentin Tarantino saw it at South by Southwest, deciding on the spot to distribute the movie through Rolling Thunder. This caught the attention of Debra Granik (Winter's Bone), who cast Dillon to star opposite Vera Farmiga in the Sundance Film Festival award winning film, Down To The Bone. Dillon's ability to capture honest and realistic portrayals of complicated characters has been his calling card. The award-winning actor scored the starring role in the dark and twisted serial Durham County, leading him to his breakout role in CBS/CTV co-production Flashpoint, which aired its fifth season in 2012. Early 2013 saw Dillon join AMC's The Killing, simultaneously appearing on Showcase's drama Continuum. In 2014, he was cast in a lead role for CBC's X Company. Dillon has been busy since then with various productions, including Syfy's The Expanse in 2016. More recently he has added roles in 2017, in Twin Peaks and feature film Wind River, alongside Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner with Academy Award nominated director Tayler Sheridan. 2018 included the release of his feature films The Humanity Bureau opposite Nicolas Cage and I Still See You with Bella Thorne. Dillon also appeared alongside Kevin Costner, in Tayler Sheridan's Paramount show Yellowstone. Season two is set to air in 2019. Dillon has continued to push the boundaries of his creativity, taking a hands-on approach to developing and producing unique stories, such as short film The Offer, and Issues, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Following a celebrated return to the stage with the Headstones, Dillon has since been back in the studio to record the band's latest two full-length albums, and their first vinyl release. 2017 saw the release of their latest album Little Army and a sold-out National tour, where the band gave their fans an exclusive behind the scenes look into the making of the album, in real time, and includes the #1 hit single 'Devil's On Fire'. 2018 signaled the 25th anniversary of the band's first label album Picture Of Health, leading to a re-release of the record and another national tour. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Courtney Yuchtman
