The former Joe Dick and former Headstones frontman has come a long way. His new starring role, in "Durham County", has the former (still?) head banger taking on middle class suburbia not as a punk, but as a cop with a hidden secret. Set against the backdrop of wasteland suburbia, the Sweeney family begins their new life in a new county, with Dillon playing the patriarch Mike, looking for a fresh start after the death of his partner. Dillon's antagonist just happens to be an old high school buddy, (played by CanCon favourite Justin Louis) except the two had a falling out... and now they live across from each other! Conflict is character! Character is conflict!
Some of the highlights include dramatic, introspective scenes with Mr. Dillon dealing with family issues while his own music serves as the soundtrack! What a fucking cool job!
