Fargo star Sam Spruell has expressed his opinions on his possible comeback as Ole Munch in a next season as well as on whether the character should return. Originally appearing in the fifth season of the anthology series, Spruell's character is a 500-year-old sin eater taught by Dot Lyon to see a more serene way of existence after following a debt code all through the show. After discovering his curse meant he didn't need to be surrounded by sin, Fargo season five finished with him smiling for the first time.
Speaking with Screen Rant, Spruell indicated he might be open to playing Ole Munch once more in a later Fargo season contingent on the situation. He liked portraying the character, but it's questionable if he would work without the other season five characters as he thinks they were crucial for his growth. See what Spruell had to say down below.
The last episode of season five completes the sin eater's character and provides him with the means to stop his debt and sin cycle so he may lead the life he wants. Ole Munch's curse is no more as heavy on him as it once was, even if he still appears to be affected by immortality. This frees him from the obligation to pursue debts in the form of killing people or seeking retribution, so enabling him the possible freedom to do what he wants with his life now.
But considering how firmly his story concluded in season five, it's not clear if Ole Munch should be brought back for perhaps a Fargo season six. If he were, then it could assist to round out the shared universe of the show and link his original season to the others. Spruell notes, nonetheless, that the people around his own were crucial for his growth, so a later appearance wouldn't be as relevant. Although he might return, most likely it wouldn't be for a significant part.
Originally created by the Coen Brothers, the TV version of the same-named movie is Black Comedy Crime Drama series Fargo. Designed by Noah Hawley, every season of the show uses an anthology approach, arranging the events inside the "Fargo" universe in a different locale or era. Notable performers on the show already include Chris Rock, Kirsten Dunst, Ewan McGregor, and Billy Bob Thornton.
Every season of Fargo offers a different set of fascinating settings, characters, and plots. The show is renowned for its gripping suspense and dark comedy.
Yes, I do believe so. I like to play that role. Along with what that character symbolized and who he was as a guy, I truly believed in what [creator] Noah [Hawley] was attempting to do with that character. Though he was a magical being, I found everything about him on the page, otherwise, rather reasonable. As an actor, reading a screenplay or reading the words of your character and totally grasp where they are coming from and believe that is rather joyful.
Perhaps most of our work is essentially improving the script to be better. Although I'm sure there were modifications along the way, with Fargo I truly believed Noah's writing for my character was outstanding throughout the program. I found it to be great. In that sense, I would like to [see] more of what Noah has to say via that persona. But only because of the other performers on the show and the personalities they were portraying does that character—and its power—exist.
Should they not be present, I'm not sure. Perhaps he wouldn't be as strong or perhaps not as effective. Your scene mates define your performance only. I have no idea. It is a difficult one. I'm not sure about it. I would like to return. I would dearly adore a spinoff. No, though; I believe he finishes with season 5 of Fargo and that is all.
With all five seasons and the movie loved, Fargo is associated with quality; so, here is every narrative ranked from worst to best. Viewers have made the show a favorite and it has received great critical praise.
Ole Munch might, however, make a brief cameo exposing what he did with his life, thereby returning without sacrificing the ending he acquired in season 5. This would enable him to appear while maintaining the ending he first got and return without being a part of a main plot. Even if it's just for a little while, Fargo's seasons are all linked in some capacity thus it is not out of the question for him to pop back again.
The Fargo universe offers so much possibilities for narrative, so it's interesting to watch where the creators go from here. The interesting narratives and personalities make a comeback from a favorite character highly appealing.
