Bill Hader: "Barry"

Anyone who thinks Bill Hader is just the funny guy from Saturday Night Live will be in for a shock with this one.  He's been doing consistently amazing (mostly dramatic) work on Barry and this scene is just incredible.  (Season 1, episode 7)

Re: Bill Hader: "Barry"

WOW! This is amazing, Squonk! Thanks for posting this. Of course, I love Bill Hader...and I was hoping to see something like this from him for a while now. Comedians really can do the most dramatic work - look at Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, etc... Bill did a dramedy with Kristin Wiig (I forget the name - they played siblings) - and although he was great -- I really wanted to see him do in that movie what he did here, especially considering he was suicidal in that movie. I have not watched this show - I have no idea what it is about - but I am definitely going to start now! Thanks again!

Re: Bill Hader: "Barry"

The movie you are thinking of is The Skeleton Twins.  Hader blew me away in that and made me a fan.  
In Barry he is a depressed ex-Marine hit man who decides to become an actor (his two worlds collide in the scene I posted).  It's a comedy/drama and he is playing the least comical character on the show.  Just amazing.  I can't wait to see more dramatic work from him.

Don't mind me, I'm just here to fill my Lachrymatory of Holding.
