Morris Talks About the Season 5 Finale of Fargo
Speaking to Variety, Morris said that, while he didn’t want to spoil anything, the finale might be “the wildest” episode of the season so far. He went on to praise his fellow co-stars, saying, “I can tell you, a lot of actors on this show deserve some awards.”
“I would just tell the audience to watch out for great performances, and the story gets wild. It definitely gets crazy,” he told the outlet. He also explained why the ninth episode represents a big change for Roy, as he “had this free rein to do whatever the hell he felt like doing,” but now he sees that he is feeling like “‘my back is truly up against the wall.’ The only way out of this is mayhem. And that’s what you see.”
