Known for his act as a crooked and erratic lawyer in Breaking Bad,Bob Odenkirk has traded in a life of crime to act in a new TV drama, Fargo as a police deputy.
The new drama is based off of the 1996 Cohen Brothers film, also known as Fargo and will be played on channel 4 starting April 20th.
Described as a “10 hour film,” the TV series will have all new characters including, Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman. The film was nominated for an Emmy Award seven times and received the BAFTA for best director, according to Mirror.
Odenkirck is a fan of fargo himself and told The Guardian, "The dynamic of the movie is in this show: that intense evil and darkness, brought to a comical extreme, mixed with the world of these innocent people who literally cannot get their minds round the possibility of the evil that is around them.”
Thornton will play the role of a devious and scheming man who greatly impacts the everyday life of an insurance salesman from a small town, played by Freeman. Bill Olson is the deputy Odenkirk will portray and his entire persona is the exact opposite from Breaking Bad’s Saul Goodman.
For those who are fans of the original movie and those who are looking to invest hours of their life in a new TV show, be on the lookout for the premiere of Fargo at 9.pm on April 20th.
