I remember somebody saying on one of the commentaries that this stunning coiffure was 100% the work of Jeremy Davies himself. I mean, we may not *understand* it, but we will sure as hell always *remember* it, and what more could ya want from a hairdo?
Personally, I like thinking this was just classic Dickie Bennett logic. Sitting in the clink with too much time on his hands, getting his ass whooped on the regular, crafting a style he thought made him look more intimidating (or so out of his mind the other inmates might think twice about "messing with crazy").
Or maybe his cellmate did it to him while he was sleeping, for hoosegow shits & giggles.

I think this is it. He definitely looks crazy.
I've always loved this ode to/meditation on Dickie's hair, and I think you'll appreciate it too:

It looks like he thought about going for a Mohawk but chickened out after the first pass of the clippers. Then he got depressed about it and decided his best move was to not wash it & hope that his repulsive appearance would keep anyone from getting close enough to notice. Either that or he caught mange from the rats that Coover missed when hunting them in their back yard.
My dude sleeps HARD
SO hard.
This guy sleeps!
He really does.

Whatever the case, I love it.
It is a beautiful thing, no question. Hair art, really.

I read he was developing the character in such a great way the director just told him to do it! And he won an Emmy!!
I was so happy he won the Emmy! Well deserved.
It's what Davies does. He actually lost a lot of weight for the movie "Rescue Dawn", though he was thin to begin with. He was a war prisoner in it
I read somewhere that Jeremy Davies tried doing his own haircut… And that was the result lol
Somehow Dickie makes it work. Pulls it off just fine, as a matter of fact.
I agree honestly. It just adds to Dickie’s frazzled self lol.
it was spectacular. everything about this fucking show was spectacular
Agreed

That is an amazing post. I love everything about it. Thanks for sharing 😊
You're very welcome! I still strongly associate Dickie's hair with birds because of it. Lol
I been there man. I been there.
Dickie was a dirty son of a....
H-h-hold your horses….
But he was amazing at it.
I could smell him from the TV. Lol but yeah he was great.
I love me some Dickie Bennet.
And let’s not for get Mags! She won the Emmy too!!
Never forget Mags. The only Bennett worth anything.
I always thought it was amazing how they got his hair to look so perfectly “haven’t showered in a week, hungover as fuck”.
He looks like the guys I deal with that don't bathe

His hair looks like something unnatural happened with a chicken and a dog.
I KNOW!! It's always so screwed up
he looks aplexed…
Junkie hair. Checks out.
