| ~ Sheriff Roy Tillman to Danish Graves. |
| “ | Mayday, Mayday. This is a code ten-double-zero. Officer down. All patriots respond. I have a military ambush inbound, and this is America's sheriff issuing a call to arms. They're coming for me the way they came for Ammon and LaVoy. And don't be fooled: after they murder me, they're coming for you next. So grab your beans and your bullets and bring your big f-cking hammer, 'cause it's balls to the wall time. And rally right here on me. If you're close by, get here now. I'll keep 'em faced forward while you box 'em in. We'll show these godless Huns how a patriot dies a'singing. Hooah. | „ |
| ~ Roy summoning his followers to defend his ranch. |
Roy Tillman is the main antagonist of the fifth season of the FX television series Fargo.
He is an abusive North Dakota county Sheriff and ex-husband of Dorothy Lyon, who escaped from him by changing her name and moving to Minnesota. Unable to get over what he considers a betrayal, he puts his career on the line to capture his former wife at all costs.
He was portrayed by Jon Hamm, who also played Herb Overkill in Minions, Matthew Trent in Black Mirror, Don Grouper in SpongeBob SquarePants, Reverend Richard Wayne in The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Buddy in Baby Driver.
Biography[]
Roy presumably grew up in North Dakota until, at 25 he succeeded his father as Sheriff, just like his father did after his grandfather.
His first wife was a woman named Linda, with whom he had a son named Gator, who, after years of abuse, mysteriously disappeared; he then proceeded to marry the then seventeen year-old Nadine who, a few years later, ran away and was presumed dead.
2019[]
When Nadine, who changed her name to Dorothy and had moved to Scandia, Minnesota, had her fingerprints scanned by the police after her unintentional involvement in a brawl at a school meeting, Roy found out of her survival and sent a mysterious man named Munch and an accomplice named Ireland to kidnap her and bring her back to the ranch.
Unexpectedly, Dot proved to be a hard target and managed to kill one of her captors and escape. Munch, injured but alive, returned to the ranch and asked for proper compensation, as he was not told of his target's skills; Roy apparently accepted, but in actuality planned to kill Munch and keep the money, Munch however understood the situation, killed two of Roy's men and fled.
Dorothy, after a second attempted kidnapping by Gator which resulted in her house getting burned down, was put in a mental hospital by her wealthy and powerful mother-in-law Lorraine, to whose house Roy later headed, intending on forcing her to give up Dorothy, but failing to do so, to his great surprise, as he didn't expect a woman to not obey to him.
Meanwhile, Dot escaped from the institution and went to a diner, only to get indirectly hit by a truck in the parking lot and get knocked out by the impact. She later woke up on a hospital bed and was confronted by Roy himself, who forced her to follow him to his car, crossing paths with Witt Farr, a policeman who recognized Dot and reported to a colleague, who in turn contacted two FBI agents who were already working on trying to prove Roy used public money to fund his militia.
After Roy's election debate was sabotaged by Lorraine's attorney, Danish Graves, he returned to the ranch and unleashed his rage on a captive Dot only to be interrupted by the arrival of Danish himself who came with a deal, offering his attorney services in exchange for Dot's freedom, but Roy, still angry, instead shot him to death and threw his body into the same well where he threw all his victims.
Unknown to Danish, Lorraine found out about Dot's history of abuse, and used her connections to organize an FBI raid on the Ranch, while Roy made a public announcement to reunite his militia, and Dot managed to escape the shed she was held captive in by overpowering and disarming the cowboy sent there to execute her.
Finally, Roy gets ambushed and shot in the stomach by Dot, who then gets interrupted by a team of FBI raiders led by Witt, allowing him to flee into a tunnel, where he ambushes and murders Witt, before resuming his escape and emerging from a manhole, only to get surrounded and arrested by the FBI, as a blinded and abandoned Gator used the same route earlier and decided to tip them off.
2020[]
One year later, Roy is seen in a federal prison, comfortable with the "jungle law" and segregation, having gotten himself a swastika tattooed on his neck, and is visited by Lorraine, who informs him that she intends to use her money to eliminate the monetary debts of most inmates there, to make Roy suffer the same things he subjected his three wives to during all those years.
Personality[]
Roy is an misogynistic, xenophobic, and egotistic abuser, often twisting words from the Bible and the Constitution to legitimize his hateful views and behaviour, for example, seeing domestic violence as a normal part of the relationship in a married couple.
Trivia[]
- Roy is the third main antagonist in the Fargo franchise to survive, preceded by Gaear Grimsrud and V.M. Varga. He is also the second to be incarcerated (alongside Grimsrud) since Varga's ultimate fate is unknown.
