EIther, I don't mind the Hanzy thing, its like a bit of an Easter Egg if you recognise him.. its not something I need a whole season to know about.

Certainly not but it would be fun to see him pop up now we know who he is. I don't know how many seasons they plan to run for but they seem to be establishing they can pick any decade.

I think they may have confirmed it in an interview but I'd have to search tomorrow. I mean it hasn't been explicitly confirmed on the show itself so if they really wanted to bring him back they could. But I doubt it. I do think we'll see Wrench again.

What I meant was there could be a season set between season 1 and 2 at some stage in which he isn't dead. Did I miss them establishing how the money wound up in the field in season 1? That seems like something worth covering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, that was in the movie. I believe Steve Buscemi's character buries it in the snow and marks it with the red ice scraper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGregor will play the two central characters — brothers Emmit and Ray Stussy — in the upcoming third season, which is supposed to be set closer to present day than the first two installments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Antony Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I think Billy Bobs bigger and arguably Freeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Not really. Billy Bob's real period in the limelight was a decade ago (or more) now, so doing Fargo was a bit of a late-career boost. Freeman I'd say has been bigger for the films and shows he's been in rather than him standing out as an actor himself. McGregor has been around a lot longer and is still making relatively big movies, so I'd landing him was their biggest coup to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I don't agree. I can't even remember the last thing I saw Mcgregor in tbh. He's mostly known for being the best part of the prequels and the guy from trainspotting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Kirsten Dunst was a pretty big name as well. BBT obviously has the awards and the prestige, and McGregor played an iconic character, but I'd say Freeman was the biggest star at the actual time the show was on. Sherlock, The Hobbit, etc. Anyway, I like the casting of McGregor. Haven't seen him in anything good since Beginners. He's due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I did say "arguably" I think Dunst is probably the most comparable given she's never really done TV (McGregor had his motorbike documentary but that was clearly because it was a hobby job) although as far as genre films are concerned McGregor is more popular. Freeman has always had his foot in TV so despite being quite noticeable it didn't seem like a shock. BBT seemed at that stage in his career where a good TV role could boost things for him. I guess McGregor might be at that stage where he needs a profile boost (as long as the Obi Wan films remain just rumours) but he has trainspotting 2 next year. Then again TV is more of a prestige format than film these days so I doubt many actors consider it a step down these days - especially those who are in it for the art of things. The first two seasons strongly suggest it's the kind of show actors want to be part of and it seems less risky than being in a season of "true detective". I'm really interested in seeing what McGregor can do with characters that will presumably get 10 hours of screen time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think his career has come off the rails slightly, but he was in the very decent Impossible. I do like that Fargo tends to get in actors you would assume would only do movies. Shows how far TV has come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 As for movie vs television actor in this era of peak tv see this Vulture article: http://www.vulture.com/2016/05/peak-tv-business-c-v-r.html The payday for movie actors doing television is big, but the time committed is far less, so they are able to do other projects, including films, collecting even more money than before.

Calibandar Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 The thing I'm never ever wild about though is one actor taking on two roles. It never works for me, film or series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
