Sneaky Pete

Yost was showrunner, executive producer, and writer on the Timothy Oliphant vehicle, justified for 78 episodes.

Yost was also exec prod on 67 episodes of The Americans and 20 episodes of Sneaky Pete.

When it comes to the big screen, one Yost credit really stands out.

He wrote 1994's big-budget bus movie Speed.

Yeah.

I mean, I knew, had known Brian a long, long time because we did Sneaky Pete together for three years.

It was gripping.

He's had a wonderful career.

We have Giovanni Ribisi, who plays Kip Raines.

He was in Boiler Room, Avatar, and Sneaky Pete.

We've got Timothy Oliphant, who plays Detective Drycough.

He was in Justified, Go, Hitman, The Girl Next Door, and Alien Earth.

Pete McCabe.

Sneaky Pete.

But not so sneaky because he manages to get fucking choked by Michael Myers in the fucking top house.

It couldn't have been better for me because I had known that this scene existed in some format before Halloween 2018 was even released.

But this was actually his last role as Ethan Randall before he officially became Ethan Embry.

He went on to do White Squall, That Thing You Do, Disturbing Behavior, Can't Hardly Wait, Sweet Home Alabama, Sneaky Pete, most recently in Grace and Frankie, and just in the new Cape Fear miniseries that came out this year.

Yeah, not a huge name in the industry, but a consistently working actor and somebody that people really like.

And I can't remember, and maybe it was I had already seen White Squall before this because when I saw this movie I knew he was Ethan Embry and he wasn't even Ethan Embry [laughs], he was Ethan Randall, but I don't know if that helped m- make him more fun because I had seen him in a more serious role.

Yeah.

Uh, we got Jeté Laurence, uh, from Sneaky Pete and The Snowman, as Ellie.

Hugo and Lucas Lavoie as Gage.

Not really been in many things.

I was just like, "Okay." So again, The Americans came to mind.

Also, um, I don't know if you've ever seen Sneaky Pete, also an Amazon show.

Is that good?

Uh, she plays, like-
