SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from the series finale of “Barry,” now streaming on Max. Nothing is sacred in the world of “Barry.” Played by Anthony Carrigan, NoHo Hank…
comedy series premiered in 2018. As a Chechen mobster with a heart of gold, Hank was the perfect foil to Barry’s perpetual seriousness. And when Season 3 got dark and depressing after Cousineau learned that Barry had murdered his girlfriend , Hank was one of the show’s last remaining sources of comedic relief … until he killed his boyfriend Cristobal midway through the show’s fourth and final season.
I’m not entirely sure when Bill told me, which is a good indicator that I totally blocked it out of denial. I do remember having one conversation with him, and we were able to unpack it and really understand that Hank having made these decisions to double down, in terms of him trying to be a gangster, have ultimately led to his demise. You live the life of a gangster, you have the death of a gangster. That’s just how it goes.
The Season 3 finale was so traumatic for Hank. We see in his eyes at the end that he’s changed as a person, that he can’t continue forward as the “nonviolent” bad guy he’s always been. Hank had managed to skate past all this stuff and have goons carry out the violent acts that needed to be done to establish a criminal enterprise. Up until Season 3, Hank’s naiveté had never quite caught up with him. Hank’s foolish nature never had real consequences.
How do you interpret Hank’s final speech to Fuches? He almost confesses to having Cristobal killed but never says those words, then basically takes it all back at the end. Fuches becomes the one character who begins to really break the mold — I suppose Sally does too — of not pretending anymore to be something else, but rather actually just acknowledging who he really is. He becomes, weirdly, this kind of moral compass. He’s the example of being honest with himself. Granted, he’s being honest with himself as a ruthless mob boss, but he’s also just being honest. And seeing Hank not be honest is driving him nuts.
