Damon Herriman (born 31 March 1970) is an Australian actor and writer. He is known for his film and television work in Australia and the United States. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Dewey Crowe in Justified. In 2019, he portrayed the cult leader and criminal Charles Manson in both the Netflix series Mindhunter and in the Quentin Tarantino film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
The novel tells the story of a teenage runaway named only as "the kid", who was born in Tennessee during the famously active Leonids meteor shower of 1833. He first meets the enormous, pale, hairless Judge Holden at a religious revival in a tent in Nacogdoches, Texas, at which Holden falsely accuses the preacher of raping children and goats, inciting the audience to attack him.
