Deadwood: Ranking 15 Cast Members Worst To Best

15. Mr. Wu

For a man who would feed dead bodies to his pigs, Mr. Wu was one of the more light-hearted elements of the show. Leader of the Asian community in Deadwood and Al Swearengen's opium supplier, Wu was often under immense pressure to provide safety for his people as well as make money through his illegal dealings.

The reason he is on this list is his surprisingly endearing relationship he had with Al Swearengen (or 'swedgin' a he called him). Wu speaks very little English and his boisterous business dealings with Al were a comedic highlight of the show. Both men trying to ascertain what the other is attempting to say using sign language, props and drawings never ceased to be hilarious.

What started off as both men shouting at each other soon became a more respectful relationship as they grew to trust each other. Wu was never treated as an equal in the camp but Al came closest and watching Wu protect an ailing Swearengen in Deadwood: The Movie was especially touching.
