Though Barry was adamant about being done working with Fuches and Hank, it wouldn’t be that easy to slide away. But, as far as everyone else is concerned at the beginning of Season 2, she was maybe still alive. Well, we know that Barry killed Janice at Cousineau’s lake house in the Season 1 finale because she was close to piecing together Barry’s double life.
Season 2 picks up a few weeks after the disappearance of Detective Janice Moss ( Paula Newsome), who had been searching for any leads on who killed Ryan Madison, an acting student who was mixed up with a Bolivian gang. RELATED: 'Barry' Season 3 Set Image Shows Bill Hader Back in Action This clever actor by day, hitman by night sort of premise not only makes for unexpected and engaging storytelling, but also acts as a thought-provoking and heart-felt tale of struggle and identity. Instead, Barry must find time in between working with NoHo Hank ( Anthony Carrigan), a bubbly, hospitable member of the Chechen mafia (yes, he really exists), and angry leader Goran Pazar ( Glenn Fleshler), to go to class, run his lines, perform monologues, and hit the bars with his new struggling-actor friends Sally, Natalie ( D’Arcy Carden), Sasha ( Kirby Howell-Baptiste), Jermaine ( Darrell Britt-Gibson), Nick ( Rightor Doyle), Antonio ( Alejandro Furth), and Eric ( Andy Carey). But, to Barry’s frustration, Fuches’ plans don’t involve him performing Shakespeare anytime soon. Rather than pulling the trigger, Barry ends up pulling back the curtain, and is mesmerized by acting teacher Gene Cousineau ( Henry Winkler) and the work of his students, most notably the effervescent Sally Reed ( Sarah Goldberg).Īfter this moment of self-discovery, Barry questions his future as a hitman and tries to tell Fuches that he finally found his purpose: acting. Surely, there’s more to it than just killing people, right? He reluctantly takes an assignment from his friend and criminal colleague Monroe Fuches ( Stephen Root), which sends him to a Los Angeles acting class to kill one of the students.
