There are just two more episodes remaining in the first season of WGN’s Outsiders, and when Sheriff Wade Houghton took off his wedding ring in Tuesday’s “Mortar,” it probably wasn’t good news for the Farrells, or for any hopes of peace and quiet in the little Appalachian Kentucky town of Blackburn. Wade knows who killed his brother-in-law, Breece, but thinks he’s been lied to about his chance to bring the culprit — Farrell leader Big Foster — in for murder. Yahoo TV talked to Thomas M. Wright, who stars as Wade, who talks about what motivates Wade and what’s at the heart of Outsiders’ story. He also previews the “storm” that’s going to wrap up Season 1, and shares his experiences spending time in real-life Kentucky Appalachia and how it made him committed to portray its citizens in a respectful, honest, non-stereotypical way.
