Meet Colm Feore, who plays Tommy Norris’ lawyer Nate, aka Neil, in Landman
His credits include Thor and The Amazing Spider‑Man 2, and he won a Gemini Award for his portrayal of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau
The gritty drama is set in West Texas and follows Thornton’s character Tommy Norris, a “landman” (energy-industry professional) navigating the oil industry. As season two ends, Tommy moves to launch his own oil company with the help of his closest allies and his lawyer Nate (Colm Feore) – known to Tommy’s wife Angela (Ali Larter) as Neil in a long-running gag – who turns down a major promotion and quits his firm out of loyalty to Tommy.
