We spoke w/ 'Barry's Anthony Carrigan about his reaction to the series finale and how he kept NoHo Hank alive.
From co-creators and executive producers Bill Hader and Alec Berg, the HBO dark comedy series Barry is in its final season, with hitman turned acting student turned really emotionally and morally confused man Barry Berkman locked up in jail and facing all of his past deeds.
ANTHONY CARRIGAN: If they’ve learned anything so far, it’s to always be worried. With Barry, you never know where the next gut punch is gonna come from. But I will say that this season stands out as something that is so spectacular and unique. I think it’s my favorite, so far. Fans will have everything in store for them. It’s really funny, but it’s also gonna be intense. Let’s lay it out there. Let’s not lie.
He’s definitely made no secret of how much he loves the show. What was it like to find out that he was as big a fan of the show as he is? CARRIGAN: What’s really lovely about it is that, if you go through the entire series, you see these bread crumbs. You see these markers of Hank acknowledging that the Barry dynamic is a toxic one and he has this new, healthy thing with Cristobal . It’s like that narcissistic lover who never leaves you alone and who always needs something from you. There’s part of Hank that always wants to please Barry and always wants to prove himself to Barry. Is it the most healthy thing? Absolutely not.
That’s why it’s so interesting to see the contrast between Hank not knowing that Cristobal was stuck in the sand pit and having to save him, and then being okay with having him killed in the next moment. Is there a difference in how Hank feels about what could have happened, when it would have been his fault, and what actually did happen?
CARRIGAN: It was so cool. I was so blown away, when I read the last script. I was floored. I was surprised. I was delighted by it. I thought, “Wow, this is something that no one is gonna to anticipate.” And I thought it was just a beautiful way to wrap things up. Obviously, it was sad that this was it and that it was the last one, but at the same time, I’m so proud of this show. I’m so honored to be a part of it and to be of service to it.
