Ewan McGregor Says Playing Two Characters In FARGO Wasn't That Difficult
Playing one actor on a series sounds like it would be a daunting enough job, let alone two! That's before you add in that you're jumping into Noah Hawley's world of Fargo, which in two seasons has established a portfolio of some fantastic performances! For a veteran like Ewan McGregor though, he makes it appear as though it wasn't as difficult as it would sound. The actor spoke to THR about his two roles in Season 3 and how he reacted when he learned he would be playing two characters:
"I felt like I understood them from the writing and I don't make the job very complicated for myself as an actor,"
That confidence! It's not like I can fault him as McGregor has played two roles in a feature before (The Island), but make no mistake just because McGregor wasn't worried about performing he still concedes that it was a lot of work:
"I got up there [to set], I suddenly went, 'F—, I've got two jobs to do here.'"
We'll see for sure how well McGregor does when his characters make their debut on Season 3 of Fargo April 19th. Check out a teaser for the two characters below.
