Last night marked the end for Don Chumph on FX's popular series
Fargo. The actor, Glenn Howerton (
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia), recently talked to the media about his work on the series, which airs Tuesday nights on FX.
Howerton talked to SciFi Vision about what initially attracted him to the role. "I didn't know a whole lot about it when I said yes to it if I'm being honest. Television moves at a different pace than film. I knew that the Coen brothers were involved. I've been a big fan of FX dramas for a while, and obviously, I've been a part of the family for many, many years, and the president of FX, John Landgraf called me and he'd been speaking about - he knows that my background is not really in comedy, and a lot of my background is actually in more dramatic stuff, which is weird. So, he always asks me, he threw it out there, would you ever want to be on one of our dramas, and I said absolutely.
"So this came along and even though it's kind of a comedic role, he felt like it was something that I hadn't really done comedic-ly before, and it was part of a drama, and he explained the concept to me, who the character was, what the tone of the show was. I'm a big fan of the movie,
Fargo, and I basically without ever even seeing a script, I said yes, just because of all the people that were involved."
