Jack Huston opened up about the upcoming episode of Fargo's fourth season. The director and writer of several episodes, Noah Hawley, also joined the conversation with Timothy Olyphant, Glynn Turman, and Jason Schwartzman.
Before the finale, Huston spoke about behind the scenes and how he worked on the character to bring life to the tragic figure. The 37-year-old actor explained that before entering any other series, he might feel more cautious and some anxiety but Fargo had a different story.
The actor disclosed that before watching the first season of the crime series, he read about it. The actor said that he started thinking about what Hawley must be thinking while turning a classic movie into a series. However, when he saw the first season, he acknowledged that it was one of the best television he has ever come across so far.
Huston praised the writer and said that he had set the bar really high for television series. He explained that Hawley had reinvented and re-established his own set bar. The actor spoke about his character, Odis Jeff, who is a detective working for the Kansas City Police Department.
The actor noted that his character is also suffering from Obsessive-compulsive disorder. He noted that the information about his character before starting the show was limited, and it seemed to be a "deep dive" for him.
He revealed not watching his own work on-screen because he finds it uncomfortable. However, this was the first time he wanted to experience the show on-screen after reading the paper's characters. The actor shared his excitement for the series and said that it’s his "wheelhouse."
"It was so exciting and fun every time you were on set because you're constantly surprised by the choices people were making, and the casting itself," he explained. The series's ongoing season revolves around the crime that took place between the Italian and Black people in 1950.
Hawley said that filming the movie in a different time zone is an advantage as he can take as much time as he needs to create another installment. Schwartzman also chimed in and confessed that Fargo was his favorite show even before he was approached the play a part in the series.
He further said that once he told his wife, Brady Cunningham, that this kind of show restores his faith. Olyphant said that he was already working on a show for the same network when he spoke with the writer. The 52-year-old actor recalled asking for a call sheet to appear on the sets.
