Yes! I've always never saw him as such until seeing him in Justified and then now in Barry.

Plus back in Season 1 (after the season was shot) he remarked that he had just turned 70!

[@delfin5418]

Seeing Bill Hader go from funny characters such as Officer Slater and Stefon to tragic hitman Barry Berkman was astonishing to see him evolve as a performer. Comedic actors always make a seamless transition to dramatic roles, they nail it every time.

[@taylorbernier7966]

Yes, totally! I think part of this is because comedic actors are usually using comedy as way to deal with/hide a lot of pain or trauma and they excel in dramatic roles because they are proficient in COMMITTING.

[@CollinGerberding]

I love seeing a mainstream comedic actor being allowed to show more than just being funny.

[@jeremysiron9622]

Also, he’s such a great impressionist that you know it’s easy for him to channel a character, it’s only limited by his imagination, we’ve all seen what he’s capable of

[@gibberconfirm425]

​@@taylorbernier7966 Yeah remember "acting is truth," "use it," "you don't have to know what child abuse is like, you just have to know what it's like to hurt someone," he really hurt someone and he's using it...duh? I mean I wouldn't have even wondered if it wasn't brought up 15 times as what acting is, and then it kinda went nowhere, for Barry, if not Bill Hader? Here's what it might be: "Can you give me ANYTHING?"--Sally to Barry, in that scene that won the Emmy, after he murders his old marine buddy, with the agent in the audience. The biggest literary agent in the world had requested my novel--the real "Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs" from "South Park." The book that makes you puke, that's inexplicably REALLY good. Bill Hader was there, in the "South Park" writer's room. That was a parody of a real book--that's why that episode made no sense, and people still ask Google if it's real, somehow. I had mailed it to the voice of Towelie. "Guys, this is MY LIFE. I don't want to sue you. It's the coolest thing in the world you did a 'South Park' about my book. Salman Rushdie's agent requested it because this literary genius Stanford neuroscientist basically said 'I think it's like the best thing I've ever read?' like an idiot, like the episode. You guys are actually talented, these people are not, it means EVERYTHING TO ME. I love you. Can you give me ANYTHING?" Cold. Under orders, like the Macbeth scene from Season 1--"South Park" guys didn't want to get sued or then, have it be known they were dicks like that. Unfortunately there's a bunch of evidence they left behind... Scrotie dot Biz in your browser.

[@RagnarokMic]

The fact he also wrote and directed on the show just shows his talent.

[@thexbigxgreen]

Bill Hader is such a treasure, he blends comedy and drama so seamlessly, and he has an excellent eye for talent. Anthony Carrigan and Stephen Root were the perfect casting choices for their characters

[@christinalee543]

He really does blend comedy and drama super well, not unlike M.A.S.H., which I’m sure was a big TV inspiration for Bill Haider, but also I just associate him with M.A.S.H. because of his impersonation of Alan Alda lol

[@opaljk4835]

I found Barry to be the most depressing show I’ve ever seen. Sure there are funny things throughout and really fun characters, but I found myself with very little room to breath.

[@Moviesan69]

When NoHo Hank dies and you hear the birds from Santa Fe chirping away reminiscent of his happier times with Cristobal at the beginning of the season, that's really when the waterworks came.

[@SophiaAphrodite]

When you listen to all these interviews. You realize why this show was a masterpiece. Hader was not the typical entitled director that forced the vision when it did not work. He listened to his people and their meetings talking about the show and how people recall characters and seasons . He had a vested interest in making the show memorable from the perspective of the viewers and those who worked with him felt the same because he listened to them.

[@AkuraTheAwesome]

I think we can thank streaming services for pouring money into people's pockets to make content, it opened us up to a fresh new wave of creators not held down by the chains of nepotism. When Hollywood tried to keep up with the content overload they were forced to take the same strategy, and thus fresh voices became mainstream.

[@JalenRawley]

When you do such a great job of casting, half of your work as a director is already done. Great actors who understand their characters and it is coming from a creative place, not an ego centric place will always be able to help make course corrections that get the show to the right place. Bill often talks about how running your own sketches at SNL puts you in a director's role. Your working with all of the various departments and your ensemble cast, and there's a necessary efficiency that comes from allowing everyone to do their jobs. Taking that experience and applying it to projects that have the benefit of more time and budget really works well.

[@jhardycarroll]

I think you maybe need to rethink your definition of Masterpiece. The first two seasons were great, but this last one was an f'ing train wreck. No amount of quarterbacking will change the fact that it, like seasons 3 and 4 of fargo, sucked.

[@AkuraTheAwesome]

@@jhardycarroll you must've been watching a different show because Barry couldn't have had a better ending in my opinion. People get tripped up because the characters don't change or do the hard things necessary to grow as a person. The ending feels deflated because no one learns their lesson and it's all bleak, but that's the whole idea. Barry is about living with the responsibility of your actions and embracing who you truly are, because trying to be something your not can drive you crazy.

[@Flaming_penguin]

Look, as Season 4 went on, it was clear the show was reaching greatness, but the standout, among stellar actors, was Stephen Root. His transformation to a pater familias gangster from Barry father figure and then instantly snap back to tender father figure when he heard Barry had a son was.... the way you could see the tenderness fill his eyes, even if nothing really changed... I was floored by that scene. And the way he covered the child in the shootout. Just wow. That moment took the show up to a higher level for me.

[@juanadino369]

I rewatched the part where he protects John because I was amazed how much he cared for Barry even after what went down. He saw Barry in John and it was beautiful

The story, the places, the nuance of Barry has shown me that I wish to see a million more series and movies made by this man. He was put with an amazing cast and not only did he shine, but everyone else absolutely blew their characters out of the water. Bill, you're one of the good ones, my friend.

i think this is because not only are long takes really difficult to pull off, but in a way they really put you in the scene like no other type of edit or shot, as any type of cut or edit reminds you that its a show/film.

I’m the 1st secondary assistant to the primary fan. And this all made so much sense and I’m glad they listened to my input. Which was making popcorn on the stove and snuggling up on the couch to enjoy all of this final episode. Best ever close out, this and Breaking Bad. Best writing and direction for any episodic shows I’ve ever enjoyed.

When I first watched it I remember being amazed at how rare it was to find such good comedy + violence in a show. Bill Hader is a genius and always has been in whatever he’s a part of

[@itsAustinGreen]

Bill Hader has a career arc only comparable to someone like Jordan Peele - Barry was my favorite TV show of all time and I can't wait for whatever Bill directs next

[@ROBMEISTERN]

Absolute masterpiece in every aspect.

My favorite character was NoHo Hank. I wish we could've had more.

Hard for me to think of a better acted show. The direction, the editing and pacing were delicious.

Just finished this series last night, wow, what a ride. One of my fave comedic moments is Noho Hank setting up the Detinator app on Barry's phone...2:30 a.m. laying in bed cackling out loud at that one!
