Root’s character is the wealthy overseer of the money who thinks he’s separated from the violence right before it comes stomping into his office. In No Country for Old Men, Root only appears in two scenes as the man who hires Carson to track down Llewelyn and Chigurh to receive the money, but it’s a fantastic performance for the screen time. Stephen Root As Man Who Hires Wells: Root is a Coen brothers regular having appeared in five of their films. He's also known for his television roles on the series Cheers as Woody Boyd and in the first season of True Detective as Marty “Stop Saying Odd S**t” Hart. Harrelson has a long filmography, including a number of acclaimed projects, and he recently portrayed Cletus Kasady in Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Carson is the other hitman pursuing Llewelyn but runs afoul of Chigurh, who kills him before Carson can even begin his search. Woody Harrelson As Carson Wells: In a bit of ironic casting in No Country for Old Men, Harrelson plays Carson, a character reminiscent of Harrelson’s father, Charles Voyde, a convicted Texas hitman (via Movieweb). His role in the comedy was well received and may be why the Coens picked him for the looser role of Wendell. Wendell (Garret Dillahunt), Ed Tom’s deputy, gets the majority of these rare moments, at one point sarcastically describing a cartel shootout as, “Whoa! Differences.” Dillahunt is most famous for his leading role in the canceled Raising Hopewhere he played Burt Chance, the patriarch of the family. Garret Dillahunt As Wendell: Despite the grim and serious tone of No Country for Old Men, there are still some quirky lines and moments to remind the audience that it’s still a Coen brothers film.
