Barry

Episode #4: “Chapter Four: ‘Commit…To YOU’” Debut date: SUNDAY, APRIL 15 (10:30-11:00 p.m.) Barry (Bill Hader) finds that distancing himself from Fuches (Stephen Root) and the Chechens might be harder than he thought. Sally (Sarah Goldberg) is dismayed to learn that an audition arranged by a prospective agent has strings attached. Gene (Henry Winkler) promises Moss (Paula Newsome) a bombshell, but only over dinner. Barry invites a Marine buddy and his two pals to a party given by his classmate Natalie (D’Arcy Carden), where Zach (Ross Philips), a rising actor, threatens Barry’s claim on Sally. Written by Sarah Solemani; directed by Maggie Carey. BARRY Season 1 Episode 4 Photos Commit To YOU.

Barry is a depressed, low-rent hitman from the Midwest. While on a job in LA, he follows his “mark” into an acting class and is instantly drawn to the group of students. Barry wants to start a new life in this community of eager hopefuls, but his criminal past won’t let him walk away. Can he find a way to balance the two worlds?

Other cast regulars include: Stephen Root (“Get Out”) as Barry’s handler, who is alarmed to contemplate a future without his primary source of income; Sarah Goldberg (“Hindsight”) as a dedicated acting student who becomes the object of Barry’s affection; Glenn Fleshler (HBO’s “True Detective”) a Chechen mob kingpin whose killer instincts are (somewhat) tempered by a surprisingly sentimental side; Anthony Carrigan (“Gotham”) as the mobster’s brutal but unfailingly polite sidekick; and Henry Winkler (“Arrested Development”) as a pompous yet endearing acting teacher who takes Barry under his wing.

As well as starring in the series, Hader directs episodes of the show, marking his directorial debut.
