From Quiz Watching the Detectives

Answer: Woody Harrelson

Marty Hart combines the "Good Ol' Boy" stereotype with the more modern notion of a police detective. He's well-liked by his fellow officers and supervisors; knows how to talk to victims, witnesses and members of the public; and dishes out as good as he gets from the bad guys. In addition, he maintains a model family life (at least on the surface). These characteristics are in direct contrast with those of Cohle, his partner; but the differences are antagonistic as often as they are complementary. Woody Harrelson first made his mark in US television as a dim-but-lovable bartender in the iconic series "Cheers", for which he won a prime-time Emmy award in 1987. His transition to film was no less successful: he has starred in such films as "White Men Can't Jump", "Indecent Proposal", "Kingpin", "Wag the Dog" and the "Hunger Games" series, and he was nominated for Academy Awards for his performances as the title characters in "The People vs. Larry Flynt" and "The Messenger". "True Detective" is his second HBO production; he received an Emmy nomination for his performance in the acclaimed "Game Change", a film based on the McCain/Palin presidential campaign of 2008.
