JD Evermore


Thank you for showing up here, and for posting.

You created one of the most evolved characters in TV history. Daggett is a Man, with a capital M, or, as members of my tribe would say, a Mensch.

He was fantastic throughout this series.

When/ where did he post? I missed that!

He apparently posted in sign_in's Tawney thread, but I seriously doubt that's really the actor. Far more believable someone impersonating him.

In any case he really did a stand out job on this series.

reply

lol No wonder I missed it. I have that poster on Ignore.

It's possible it's not really JD Evermore. But actors are people, too, and some do frequent the message boards.

I have an actor friend (reminds me of the line in A Streetcar named Desire,"I have a lawyer friend") who is on Facebook and on several message boards and online discussion groups. Why wouldn't an actor in the series come here to see what's being said about it?

It's not that they wouldn't, certainly a possibility but this is healthy skepticism. Anyone claiming their identity on an IMDB message board should be taken with a grain of salt. Not sure what facts could prove it in any case.

If that is the actor then it's cool he wrote the phrase "coffee crack" He's very in tune with the lingo the fans use.

reply

Yes, for example, Stevie Nicks doesn't do social media at all (and when she appears, it' not here but one of her staff), but David Crosby frequently responds to fan Tweets ob Twitter. Some performing artists really like social media, like so many of the rest of us.

That title goes to Teddy, hands down



Absolutely. I agree completely, Sign. Teddy evolved the most.

Not sure it was completely believable; people tend to cling to their defenses and almost all Teddy's behavior was a defense. But some people do manage to climb out of harmful and unrecognized attitudes....once they recognize them. I think Teddy represented the hidebound Everyman who see people like Daniel as guilty because he was found guilty (not unlike you, Sign). It took personal grief for Teddy to see that "there but for the grace of God go I." His agreeing to anger management classes demonstrated that he realized that, I think.

I think Daggett is better than you characterize him, however. I do think he had a kind of epiphany, as Amantha said she did. I thnk he was a fair minded man who had no dog in that fight and was willing to see things differently, especially after hearing the former sheriff's deposition.

I missed this but it isn't surprising. He's a very nice fellow, smart too. Appreciates his fans. We follow each other on Twitter.

Thanks, JD!

It is kind of weird for a pretty recognizable actor to come on a message board and go after someone on here. I'm not saying he was wrong in what he said, cause sign_in_1234 is a jacka$$, but it was unusual if it really is JD Evermore.

reply

[deleted]

So that WAS him, Helen?!!! I wasn't sure what to think. WHOA! Now I wish I would have talked/replied with him, however brief.

reply

while it might be believable, it was sign who "confirmed it" taking away the credibility somewhat,
and his reasoning was "he did the analytics" on it,

reply

I have no way of knowing of course. And never saw the posts. But it's believable that it might well be, since he enjoys some interaction with fans now and then.

Can't hurt to say thank you!

"Oh, I'll be polite. Right up until I'm rude."

reply

call me a skeptic, but i don't think the real JD evermore would have reacted the way he did,
and the fact that sign used "analytics" to confirm it was JD evermore makes it even less likely,
i wouldn't be surprised if the acount was a sock puppet account of sign's(who oddly enough i suspected to be whatlarks split personality, not an alt, he loses time and posts as sign, that was a little rhyme,)

reply

[deleted]

id rather wonder why there were memorial pages set up for sandy hook victims the day before the shooting, who cares about the bloody moon, all it does is make me hairy and eat things

Maybe he is a white liberal kanye west "imma let you finish but Daniel holden was one of the most innocent sad characters of all time, and deserves to win this golden globe...for best actress...*beep* wrong category, sorry yall, donald trump does not care about Daniel people"

reply

call me a skeptic, but i don't think the real JD evermore would have reacted the way he did,



Why not? He said he had a history with Sign on this board, going way back to when he posted under a different user name. He seemed angry...and Sign can make you feel that way. I thought he'd just had enough and finally said his piece.

Assuming it was really he, of course.

reply

that is circumstantial evidence,
it could be a sock puppet account,
and yes sign has made people feel that way
ijust figure with the time JD evermore has spent with ray mckinnon, aswell his age, and time in the industry he would know better then to be triggered by a troll,
i think the chance that it is JD evermore is maybe a little higher then Daniel actually committing the deed,

how ever i may be wrong, it just seems highly unprobable, especially considering Mckinnons stance on the ending, and the only one who "confirmed" it was evermore was sign,

Well, for the record, I thought Daggett was an interesting and integral character. He was needed to show the difference in a sheriff who fell under the spell of Foulkes and one who is now willing to doubt that they convicted the right person.

Also, I thought Evermore was convincing. He played Daggett as a dug in authority figure skeptical of Daniel, who finally came around to realizing that his department -- and mentors -- may have made mistakes. He was the image of a small town southern sheriff, very familiar to anyone who has ever known one.

I hope it was him, because it's nice to have someone from the show posting on here.

As for the character. Daggett went on a journey just like the other characters and I've enjoyed watching how his opinions changed over the series.

I agree. With all this.

reply

You're right, Sign, that they did rehabilitate Sheriff Daggett, especially in Season 4.

But Season 4 softened everybody: Amantha was not nearly as aggressively angry as she had been, Teddy certainly changed, Daggett, and Daniel....finally, with the help of Chloe and his house buddies and counseling. They were preparing for that ending, obviously.

Yeah whether it's sign in himself or just some other obsessed fan posing as him, those are far more likely than the actual actor posting here. To believe it's actually him is a little absurd.

reply

[deleted]

Wouldn't you all agree that any actor who rages at fans because they don't agree with a fan's interpretation of a fictional show, is a little unstable?



No. He apparently had been reading your posts, and maybe disagreeing with you, for a long time, and I think he finally just got fed up. You do have that effect on people, Sign. But then you know that. In fact, you work at it. 😉


He's not any more unhinged than anyone who earns his living in the world of entertainment. It all has to do with the business of artifice and ego and creativity and pretense, and is not something everyone can do. They have to be willing to put themselves out there, to "suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."

That doesn't make them crazy, or less or unstable. I'm guessing JD Evermore is a pretty ordinary, likeable guy who just happens to make his living as an actor.

Well, I don't agree. I don't know JD Evermore but I do have a friend who is an actor -- whose name, or at least his roles would be recognized if I named him -- and he is all over the internet. He's a person, just like you and me, with interests and curiosity and opinions that everyone has. Also, actors often live on their egos -- that is, they have to have healthy ones in order to do what they do and put up with the rejection -- and I think that might make him, since we're talking specifically about Evermore, want to see what people -- fans -- are saying about a series he is in.

Also, imdb is a venue for their industry, the business they are in. If they are online at all, and I think most younger actors are, then I assume they are here. My actor friend, who is also a writer, has actually written several bios that appear on imdb.

Funny thing about these actors. They live a life, get married, divorced, have kids, and worries like the rest of us. They even DIE!!! And you know what? I bet they use toilet paper too!!! *gasp*

Please understand I'm not in anyway being sarcastic with you, I think it's great that you know an actor. I wish I did. I'm just saying that actors are people, they're human, and they want to make a living in the entertainment industry. BUT! They're just people, as you say, like you and me. :)

You've made my point.

I don't think it's special that I know an actor. Lots of people know him. I only mentioned him because I know how "ordinary" he lives his life and that he interacts with people on Facebook and other social media, that he's not too "special" to do that....and I'm assuming JD Evermore is not, either.

Ever see Catfish? Actors are people but it's more likely to be a random person than JD Evermore showing up on an IMDB forum just to tell sign_in to get coffee cracked. People causing mischief online is common, actors posting on their imdb pages is rare.

And with sign_in ranting about alpha/beta males lately like he's been reading too many AskMen articles, maybe he split into two personalites and his alpha/beta turned into JD Evermore. 

I don't get the reference. If you're implying the actor I know is Cosby, you're wrong. Why would you think that?

I don't get the joke.....assuming there is one.

But Cosby is an actor, or was, and a person.

i was being stupid,
but i honestly don't consider someone who date-rapes 50 women a person,
they count as sub-human, basket of deplorables:P
i don't know why bill cosby jumped into my head, i knew it wasn't him
maybe i just wanted to rip on bill cosby, sometimes i type things without thinking..

I hope he gets an award . He was in many ways the thread of rational thinking that comes from a deep sense of fairness and need to discover the truth. Great character and made

Even greater by his acting. He should have his own show .shame to never see his character again.

I believe it was JD Evermore and whether as Harley on TWD or Det. Sibley on Treme or Sheriff Daggett on Rectify, this actor can deliver the goods. I hope he moves from character actor (not that there's anything wrong with that; many of the best thespians have been character actors) to leading man status soon.

Lots of performing artists use social media; why should they be any different than the rest of us in liking t? (Other than, of course, the time they put into their work - 14 hour days from makeup to filming; interviews, et al.) Character actors don't get paid enough given their long days; then all that time spent reading scripts, auditioning, all of that unbillable hours.

Check him out on Treme.

JD Evermore is the Gary Cooper of our time. I mean that as a compliment.

And he liked my Tweet!
