The Belmont County Courthouse made a cameo appearance in an episode of an HBO comedy series.

“The Chair Company” briefly showed a picture of the courthouse hanging on the wall roughly 9 minutes, 24 seconds into the third episode of the inaugural season.

The episode, titled “@BrownDerbyHistoricVids Little bit of Hollywood? Okayyy,” sees show creator and star Tim Robinson walking past the picture while playing Ron Trosper, who attempts to prove a conspiracy theory after an off-putting incident at his workplace.

Belmont County Tourism Council executive director Jackee Pugh said that she was unaware of a picture of the courthouse being shown in the series but is excited to see the county get showcased.

“It’s always so exciting when Belmont County gets focused on a bigger stage,” Pugh said. “And what a cool opportunity that it was included in this HBO show for everyone to see across the nation.”

“The Chair Company” is set in Ohio, but was filmed in New York. It is unclear why “The Chair Company” decided on displaying the courthouse, but it’s a reminder that despite being over 2,000 miles away, the Ohio Valley has ties to Hollywood.

Interstate 470 and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge that spans the Ohio River at Wheeling were featured on the fourth episode of Season 1 of HBO’s “The Last of Us.” And just this past May, the upcoming “Prison Break” reboot filmed in various locations around Wheeling and Moundsville.

In 2017, the Hulu original series “Castle Rock” was filmed at the former West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville. 2010’s “Unstoppable” used several Ohio Valley locations for filming, and in 2011, Weirton was the primary filming location for “Super 8.”
