The ‘SNL’ alum and Emmy nominee on his new Netflix show (filmed on the Emerald Isle), why he couldn’t wait for ‘The Last Man on Earth’ to be canceled, and the reunion for which he’ll always be down.
Six years ago, Will Forte was wrapping work on a horror indie in Ireland when he learned that The Last Man on Earth—the Emmy-nominated Fox sitcom he created, produced, and starred in for four seasons—was not being picked up for more episodes. For some, the news might’ve been a blow to the ego or heart. But for the Saturday Night Live alum, it was what he had been secretly wishing for.
“They have a lot of people from their company who are on set every day,” says Forte. “They work with super-intelligent, creative people. Very positive thoughts on Higher Ground and everybody who works there.” Because Forte was attached to Bodkin solely as an actor, rather than as a multihyphenate rainmaker, he was able to enjoy the leisurely group hangs that followed shoots in Union Hall.
