(Warning: This “Black Bird” post features spoilers for the show’s finale.)Audiences and critics have been hooked on the Apple TV+ series “Black Bird,” which wraps its limited run this Friday on the streamer. Across its first five episodes, the six-episode series has been driven by suspense and an increasingly heightened intensity as Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton), a convicted drug supplier, attempts to lessen his jail term by befriending and eliciting a confession from Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser), a suspected serial killer just days away from getting out on a technicality. In the finale, Hauser gave a chilling performance as Larry, as he finally confessed to Jimmy he’d committed nearly two dozen murders.
For once, Jimmy couldn’t hold back his real feelings in front of Larry, telling him he was sick and would lose his appeal, prompting a ferocious outburst from the disturbed man who thought Jimmy a friend. With all “Black Bird” episodes now available to stream on Apple TV+, Hauser took a short break away from weekend work to tell TheWrap about taking on the challenging and disturbing character, working with showrunner and writer Dennis Lehane on the piece (which is inspired by Keene’s real story), and forming a close bond on set with Egerton, whom he would happily work with again.“Oh, I love him,” Hauser said. “I would jump at the chance to work with him.
Like, if he were the next James Bond, and I was, like, a Bond villain, nothing would make me happier than something like that.”TheWrap: Let’s talk about Episode 5 a little bit. What was the mood like on set? Because obviously that’s a pretty heavy episode for both you and Taron to do.Paul Walter Hauser: I think there was a lot of commonsensical reactionary behavior from
