Linden Ashby As Sheriff Stilinski

Linden Ashby is an American actor best known for his role as Johnny Cage in the 1995 film Mortal Kombat. Ashby dropped out of college in his junior year to pursue an acting career. He studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York alongside Tom Cruise and Dylan McDermott. His first big role came in 1987 when he played Lawrence Graf von Haugwitz-Hardenberg-Reventlow in a TV movie about the real life playboy and his mother, socialite Barbara Hutton. The film, Poor Little Rich Girl, went on to win the Golden Globe for best miniseries that year. Ashby did a number of notable guest roles on popular shows in the late 80s and 90s including China Beach and MacGyver.

Beacon County’s Sheriff Stilinski is the father of Stiles Stilinski. He struggled throughout Season 1 to solve what appear to be a series of deadly animal attacks. He would often go to the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic to get an idea of what could have caused the attack. However, the Veterinarian never really gives him a clear answer, which makes Stilinski suspicious of him.
