Colin Farrell Fought Against That Heart-Wrenching Scene in 'The Penguin' Finale [Exclusive]

The Penguin has spent its entire first season run pushing boundaries with its morally ambiguous and intense moments of behavior from its main character, but there's one scene that Colin Farrell found especially hard to film: the brutal killing of Victor, a young character who served as both ally and innocent observer in Oz Cobb's world. Victor, played in the series by Rhenzy Feliz, is a character who represents a kind of innocence in the corrupt landscape of Gotham.

“Even down to what Mike Marino created, he’s interesting looking... kind of a really awkward off-tone but effective, if not goofy, sense of humor,” Farrell continued, describing how Oz’s charm initially made him likable. “But I think they wanted that in the earth by the end of the eight hours. They wanted that RIP. That’s gone.”

But I didn't want to do it. I resisted. Every fiber of me, of Colin, resisted it because there's a part of you that, no matter how dark a character you're playing and no matter how you accept swimming in those waters of the impossibility of any comeback into the affections of the audience, there's a part of you that always wants the audience to be open to the idea that you can redeem yourself.
