Hugh Dillon

January 2020, Paramount Network ordered straight to series 'Mayor of Kingstown.' The series comes from co-creator and executive producer, Academy Award nominated director Taylor Sheridan, along with co-creator and executive producer Hugh Dillon. Executive produced by Antoine Fuqua, and co-starring Jeremy Renner, Dianne Wiest and Kyle Chandler, the series will start streaming November 2021.

Combining acting with a distinguished career as a singer songwriter, 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 starred in the dark and twisted serial Durham County, leading him to his breakout role in CBS/CTV co-production Flashpoint, which aired for five seasons.

Early 2013 saw Dillon join AMC's The Killing, simultaneously appearing on Showcase's drama Continuum. Dillon has been busy since then with various productions, more recently adding roles in 2017 in Twin Peaks and feature film Wind River, alongside Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner, with director Taylor Sheridan. Dillon also appears alongside Kevin Costner, in Sheridan's critically acclaimed Paramount Network show Yellowstone, set to air its fourth season in summer 2021.

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 has seen the release of their latest album Little Army, 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'. Late 2019 saw the release of the eagerly anticipated new album 'PEOPLESKILLS', and with Lead single, 'Leave It All Behind' hitting number 3 on the Billboard Rock Charts.
