A bittersweet goodbye to ‘Barry’: The cast on the dramatic turns of the hit man comedy

Not many comedies get you to care about the characters in the series, only to have you see them get brutally killed — often by the protagonist, in this case, an emotionally stunted former Marine-turned-hit man named Barry Berkman, played by Bill Hader. Awards Even Bill Hader doesn’t fully understand Barry Bill Hader and dark comedy “Barry” have again raked in a slew of Emmy nominations. I was like, “Wait, have we done something wrong?” I’d say the other big demarcation for Barry would be in Season 3, when he flips out on Sally at work. We did something, I can’t say what it is, in the finale; I wrote it and Sarah said, “Why are we shooting this?” But that’s good; hopefully you create an environment where people can come up to you and go, “This stinks.” Winkler won the first Emmy of his career for his work on “Barry.” The show forced its actors into artistic balancing acts, especially his self-centered character: “We’re put on unicycles where it’s very real and shockingly narcissistic.” Henry, you were nominated again for Season 3, but I would argue it was sort of in the wrong category. Root: He’s full “Cape Fear.” Hader: The thing Barry wants is love, and the one genuine place he gets it is from Fuches.
