Mazon

Dermot was twenty-four when he first worked with Sam Shepard in Richard Ford’s Bright Angel (Billings, Montana 1988). Sam was fourty-four. Next, Sam cast Dermot alongside River Phoenix, Richard Ford and Alan Bates in Silent Tongue (Roswell, NM 1992), the second of the two films Sam directed. In his only professional stage appearance to date, Dermot played Mazon in Killer’s Head in the original Signature Theater production directed by Darrell Larson (New York, 1997). Dermot worked with Sam two more times: Baltasar Kormakur’s Inhale (Sante Fe, NM 2008) and Tracy Letts’ August:Osage County (Pawhuska, OK 2013). Dermot can currently be seen in The Righteous Gemstone (HBO) and Messiah (NetFlix), and has starred in scores of other films and television shows over his 35-year career. This 2020 Odyssey Theater production of Killer’s Head marks Dermot’s Los Angeles theatre debut. For now.
