Poor Dewey. We read about guys like him in our local newspapers every day. In my neck of the woods some would call him "trailer park trash." But some would be kinder and call him a "poor soul." He comes from a familial criminal background. He probably dropped out of school in the seventh grade. He has no marketable skills. So he does the only thing he knows. He's a criminal. Even with the court judgement, he invests the money in an illegal enterprise. And now Cousin D will steal that from him. Dewey is comic relief, to be sure, but he is also a sad commentary on a segment of our society that has never gotten a break, or doesn't know what to with one if they get it. I would love to see him get some sense and make a go of it, but the odds are against him.
I love Damon Herriman and the insight that he brings to the role. This is Justified's strong suit. The actors really seem to "get" their characters. There is never a false note. Thanks, weegie for bringing us this great interview.

I love Dewey Crowe. I know he's a criminal, but he's so damn funny. He's not the sharpest crayon in the box ... I mean, he could never be a mastermind. Anyone who is dumb enough to think he had four kidneys almost brings out the mother in me. He's so dumb, he needs protection. He's not mean like another dumb Harlan criminal, Couver Bennett. Dewey just wants to get what Dewey wants ... fun times with the women at Audrey's. (Or else he'll get into trouble for spanking the monkey.) At one time, I thought he might be sweet on fellow dim wit Ellen Mae, but no. He is having just as much fun with the new whores as he did with her.
That's why it's so funny to watch him living his dream as the new owner of the whorehouse. And we know it's about to go bad for him. Still, I don't want the writers to kill him off. I would much rather see the dummy be sent back to the Pokie ... with the possibility of meeting up with Raylan one more time ... whether it happens in Season 6 or not. Just leave us with the possibility, and I would be so happy.
This season, I could see Dewey trying to play like he's Raylan's ol' friend, to get himself out of trouble with his no good cousin. (Don't we all have a no good cousin? I have a few from that part of the country ... once or twice removed. Black sheep of the family. I wasn't raised around them, but I know of their wild antics.) And Raylan saying, "Huh? Do I know you?" just to piss Dewey off.
Dewey rings true, as a character, in Harlan. As did Ava in the pilot. Whereas Ava grew, evolved to become who she is now (even though it's for the bad)... Dewey never changes. He's still the same dim wit we met in the pilot and can be counted on to remain the same and turn in a hilarious performance every single time.
I also don't want to see Wynn Duffy killed, either. A perfect ending for him (for me) would be to see him and Mike pick up their motor home and scurry off into the sunset ... maybe joining Thousand Trails and blending in among the the retirees ... surviving by ripping them off in poker games. He could just move from park to park. I don't want to see Wynn breaking bad in a big way because it's not authentic for his character. (It is for Boyd's.) Wynn is a chicken, a coward. He's not bright enough, not brave enough to have the position he holds. Boyd is.
I'm guessing Daryll Crowe is so bad, he'll have to die. And Boyd will have to survive this season for a final stand off with Raylan in Season 6.

I really hope Dewey gets the upper hand with his cousins. I would also love to see him move on to season 6, successful whorehouse and all. He's so dumb, it's almost cute. I find myself rooting for him, even though he's a special kind of stupid.

If anyone has any ideas about where to post a Save Dewey Crowe campaign other than the nonfunctional FX board, count me in!!
I root for him, too, Siss13. He's too honestly stupid to let him go. (And he's too freaking funny, too. Hilarious!!)

Thanks Weegie! Damon Herriman is such a good actor. I love hearing his Australian accent. Sounds nothing like Dewey.
I would hate it if they killed off Dewey. Guys like Dewey just stumble through life, making bad decisions and letting bad stuff happen to them, and then wondering why. He is hilarious though.

Dewey is the kind of stupid criminal that usually survives, barely, in Elmore's world. So hopefully, if they are thinking WWED, Dewey will live.
