Creator Graham Yost Teases Series Finale Of 'Justified'
Since the beginning of the series when it first began airing in March 2010, Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) has been at odds against Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins).

With the series about to conclude, The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Monday some insight from the cast and creator Graham Yost about whether they are "Team Raylan" or "Team Boyd" and some of their answers may surprise you.
The series creator praised both actors, Olyphant and Goggins for their work as Raylan and Boyd before sharing, "Raylan is the hero."
Yost explained, "Boyd is charismatic, but he's the villain; he murders people. And sometimes I'd have to remind Walton of that because he loved playing Boyd so much. I'd have to say, 'Walton, don't forget Boyd is the bad guy. He is a criminal, and he kills people who don't always deserve it.'"
He appears to be "Team Raylan" especially after divulging, "I don't think you can ever entirely trust what Boyd is saying, whereas I think you can trust what Raylan is saying."
"He sees himself as a moral outlaw," Goggins dished on his character, while adding if he were to survive he would ultimately "want a domestic situation with Ava."
Carter refused to side with either of her leading males' characters.
"I'm Team Ava!" she declared, adding, "I have different loyalties, as a viewer, to both of them. Raylan is supposed to be the hero of the show. And Boyd is the villain, but you love him. I hope everyone's standing at the end."
Jere Burns, who portrays Wynn Duffy, admitted he also wouldn't pick either of them and is on his own team.
Meanwhile, Mary Steenburgen, who portrayed Katherine Hale, shared she's "probably Team Boyd" since he makes a good "partner in crime."
Justified will air its final episode tonight, April 14, on FX at 10 p.m. ET.
