Patton Oswalt, last seen as a friend of Raylan’s on Justified who was beaten nearly to death, yet stoically refused to surrender information the bad guys were trying to force out of him, and whose personal reaction to the Boston Marathon bombings went viral this week, shows up in another guest-star role tonight.
