Selome Hailu The cast members of “Barry” are almost as excited to be back on the air as they are to see each other in person again.On April 18, at the Season 3 premiere of the Bill Hader-created HBO series at Rolling Greens in Los Angeles, different actors frequently stopped in the middle of red carpet interviews to greet and congratulate each other.“God, you are sensational!” industry icon Henry Winkler said to young actor (and new cast member) Elsie Fisher, almost shouting. “Oh, my god! I love you, and you are sensational!” he continued, referring to Fisher’s performance in the new season. “What is happening?” the 19-year-old said to Variety, blushing.“I was such a big fan of ‘Barry’ before I worked on it,” Fisher shared, adding that they were particularly thrilled to collaborate with Hader and Sarah Goldberg.
“[Bill’s] so wonderful to be around. I love Sarah. Those were the two I spent the most time with, just talking about music and stuff.” The series follows Barry (Hader), a former Marine who works as a hit man and can’t seem to escape his past despite his best attempts.
As he tries to separate himself from his dangerous work, he turns to acting as a new way to find purpose.Winkler plays his kooky acting teacher Gene M. Cousineau, and told Variety about his own theories of performing. “Be authentic.
Get very close to who you are, because every character ever written is who you are. [Like me, Cousineau is] a teacher, a father, an actor. [I am] maybe not as much of an asshole.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticThere’s an expression that Bill Hader lets play across his face at the end of the first episode of “Barry’s” new season. Pointing a gun at one of the show’s major characters, Barry orders them to comply with a plan he’s just coming up with on the fly; a grin flickers around his mouth, then takes root, as his eyes glimmer with self-belief far too serene to be disrupted by the knowledge that what he’s doing is madness.HBO has requested that reviewers withhold key plot details of the next installment of “Barry,” TV’s darkest comedy or its funniest drama.
Created by Alec Berg and Bill Hader, HBO’s Emmy Award-winning “Barry” continues to be such a deceptively smart show about the human condition, while also being one of television’s funniest half hours. And the good news is that it picks up after a three-year hiatus as if no time has passed at all.
