Bill Hader explains why he doesn't always do his own stunts for Barry: 'My lower back went out just from standing. I was doing the vacuum cord the other day, and I was on the ground'
portrayed men living with deep trauma. In “Barry,” Hader’s titular character has PTSD from his experience in war, details of which were finally fully fleshed out in the second season of the HBO comedy. Meanwhile in “When They See Us,” Jerome’s Korey Wise was wrongly convicted of a heinous assault and sent to Rikers Island at age 16 and then spent 12 years literally growing up behind bars. But although both men have to dig deep for dramatic work, off-set they are quick to laugh.
Bill, as a multi-hyphenate you are so immersed in “Barry”; what are the checks and balances you need for perspective, but also to keep things fresh and exciting?You kind of sense it, but the other thing is listening to the writers’ room. That’s why Alec Berg and my partnership is so good: I am kind of the right-brained, “What if we had a little girl who jumps on a whatever?” and he’s more logical. But I think that helps.
Both of these shows require incredible emotional challenges but also physical ones, given the amount of stunts in “Barry” Season 2 and the way you had to bulk up to play the older Korey, Jharrel.Wow. To be 21, man. I can’t do that. I’m 41!
