Martha Plimpton on 'The Lowdown': The Sheriff, the Jeans, and the Sheep Martha Plimpton discusses her role as Sheriff Vela Thorne in 'The Lowdown' Season 2, Episode 4, including her character's tight Wrangler jeans, her interaction with a well-behaved sheep co-star, and the collaborative environment on the set. In Episode 4 of Season 2 of the FX series The Lowdown, entitled "Raw Milk," we're introduced to Sheriff Vela Thorne (Martha Plimpton), a county political figure connected to the corruption Lee Raybon (Ethan Hawke) is investigating. The two cross paths when Lee makes his way to a hog contest where the sheriff is mingling with the community, and some raw milk leads to a memorable interaction that puts the journalist on her radar. Collider recently got the opportunity to chat with Plimpton about joining the Tulsa, Oklahoma-set series and just what kind of sheriff her character is.During the interview, she discussed Vela's very tight Wrangler jeans, how much fun she's having playing such complicated women across various projects, her very well-behaved sheep co-star, the kind of sheriff she is, and the collaborative environment showrunner Sterlin Harjo creates on set.
