They\u2019re both cinephiles. They both have a knack for anticipating human behavior in order to garner their preferred outcome, and they each have talent for wriggling (or waddling) their way out of jams.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHowever, their core selves are night-and-day different in that Oz will hurt anyone and everyone to get what he wants, even his own flesh and blood. Conversely, Oz is as altruistic as one can be, and he\u2019ll often endure great pain if it means defending the defenseless. Oh, and he happens to be an alien.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFor Farrell, <em>Sugar<\/em> and his two seasons\u2019 worth of time as the compassionate PI has served as an antidote and \u201csanity check\u201d to the toxic, unrecognizable Penguin character he\u2019s transformed into via three-hour makeup processes on Matt Reeves\u2019 <em>The Batman <\/em>and Lauren LeFranc\u2019s <em>The Penguin<\/em>series. (The Irish actor will soon be reprising Oz Cobb for the third time in Reeves\u2019 <em>The Batman: Part II<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI love playing the Penguin. This is not a bitch, but it\u2019s <em>so<\/em> dark. The character has such a poison within him,\u201d Farrell tells <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> in support of <em>Sugar <\/em>season two. \u201cSugar, on the other hand, is so gentle, optimistic and so fundamentally decent. It\u2019s a lovely moral palate cleanser.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAfter season one\u2019s show-altering reveal that Sugar is an alien, his fellow alien species is exposed and harmed by the human powers that be, forcing them to retreat to their home planet. Sugar stays behind, though, to hopefully find his missing sister, Djen. But at the top of season two, the trail goes cold, and he assumes the worst case scenario about her fate. Thus, he channels his grief into a new case involving the sudden disappearance of Ji Moon (Raymond Lee), so that his boxer brother, Danny Moon (Jin Ha), doesn\u2019t have to experience the sorrow Sugar feels about his own sibling.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFollowing the alien rug-pull, <em>Sugar<\/em>, which is showrun by <em>Breaking Bad<\/em> alum Sam Catlin in season two, could\u2019ve easily gone in a more sci-fi direction, but it\u2019s instead become an even more down-to-earth L.A. story. The search for Ji Moon has Sugar encounter many of the real-life issues the city is facing, such as homelessness and the fentanyl crisis. As a producer, Farrell stressed a certain sensitivity so that the show didn\u2019t come off as exploitative or overtly virtuous.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI\u2019d be terrified that, in portraying any aspect of the homeless community in this city, you\u2019d be patronizing them, infantilizing them, exoticizing them or using it just for the show to say, \u2018Oh look, we\u2019re so caring,\u2019\u201d Farrell says candidly. \u201cI hope we didn\u2019t fall short.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBelow, during a conversation with <em>THR<\/em>, Farrell also discusses how season one\u2019s extraterrestrial twist is expanded on in season two, and whether <em>Sugar<\/em> is a human story or an immigrant story.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>I last spoke to you for <\/strong><strong><em>The Penguin<\/em><\/strong><strong> while you were on the set of <em>Sugar<\/em> season two. You\u2019ve gone back and forth between Oz and Sugar the last handful of years. Has Sugar\u2019s inherent decency become something of a moral palate cleanser for Oz\u2019s wicked ways?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tYeah, a sanity check. I love playing the Penguin. What a dream for a kid who grew up watching Burgess Meredith in <em>Batman \u201866<\/em> and then onto Danny DeVito, my old pal, in Tim Burton\u2019s <em>Batman Returns<\/em>. To play that part is brilliant, and to work with [prosthetic designer] Mike Marino and do that whole thing with the makeup is amazing. This is not a bitch, but it\u2019s <em>so<\/em> dark. The character has such a poison within him, and you take it away a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSugar, on the other hand, is so gentle, so optimistic and so fundamentally decent. He sees the best in every single person. He sees through people\u2019s pain and he sees the goodness that lies beneath it. It\u2019s a lovely moral palate cleanser.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Sugar may be an alien, but he\u2019s more human than most humans. As you referenced, it\u2019s really affecting when he comments to himself about how poorly human beings treat those most in pain. Has Sugar\u2019s perspective made you even more aware of how desensitized we\u2019ve become to those who need help?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m more aware of the reality of people\u2019s struggle. You\u2019re assaulted by the reality of the struggle for the most vulnerable amongst us. It\u2019s usually the youngest and the oldest. You have some kind of energetic engine when you\u2019re in your teen years and your twenties and your thirties to at least stand up and fight against something that you don\u2019t believe in. But when you\u2019re a baby or a child or you\u2019re aged or infirm, you\u2019re physically at your most vulnerable, and you don\u2019t have the voice.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSometimes, those who love a child or those who love an aged person are able to fight. But even those people who care for their child or for their 84-year-old father are so burdened and so fatigued with care that they don\u2019t have the engine to fight. Does this show reveal more to me how the most vulnerable amongst us are suffering as a result of disinterest, apathy, greed? Not really, unfortunately. It\u2019s everywhere you look.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Sugar and Oz are both cinephiles as well. How do you compare and contrast their relationships to film?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tOz learned a lot about human beings from the bullying that he received on playgrounds and from watching his mother and brothers \u2014\u00a0or from watching Rex Calabrese and his boys on the street corner outside the bodega \u2014\u00a0but he also learned about human beings from watching films. And Sugar, more than anything, because he had no prior experience with human beings, he really learned a lot about the human condition from observing films. They\u2019re both deeply observant people. But the main difference is that Oz uses his understanding of human behavior to only help himself. Sugar uses it because he wants to help eight billion people on Planet Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2633\">\u2018Euphoria\u2019 Star Chloe Cherry to Release Memoir<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>In season two, Sugar\u2019s missing sister haunts him so much that he stops at nothing to reunite a pair of Korean brothers. I bring this up because you produce this show with your sister, Claudine Farrell. Did the two of you originate the sibling storylines on this series?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tClaudine! She\u2019s next door. (<em>Laughs<\/em>.) No, we didn\u2019t. Both of us are producers, but Sam Catlin, our showrunner, and his team of writers, as they should have, had the space to think about an arc. He came up with these two Korean immigrants, the Moon Brothers, and I loved the dynamic.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLos Angeles is a city that is populated by many, many immigrants. I\u2019m an immigrant. Just because I\u2019m an actor in Hollywood and all that shit doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not fundamentally an immigrant to this country. So I loved it when Sam articulated where he was going with the season, and Raymond Lee and Jin Ha did such a great job with the Moon Brothers, Ji and Danny.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSam feels that <em>Sugar<\/em>, at its most basic level, is an immigrant story, but I think it\u2019s more of a human story. I get that <em>Sugar<\/em> is an immigrant from a distant land, but it\u2019s a story that uses the allegory of this alien creature to explore the human condition more than anything.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Sugar is ordered by his fellow aliens to not assimilate during his time on Earth. Do you remember one of the first ways you noticed yourself assimilating into your life as an Angeleno?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tHonestly, it was the first time I used the word awesome. I also worry about my accent, man. I know it seems superficial. But an accent, for many of us, is a very important anchor and a very important source of identification. It\u2019s an aural tribal call to each other. I just said \u201cother\u201d thicker than I would have if I wasn\u2019t talking about my accent. That\u2019s how deep and how complicated it is in the mind. I\u2019ve yet to have somebody say I sound American at home [in Ireland], but I do know that my accent has greatly lightened up over the years.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Season one\u2019s twist that Sugar is an alien recontextualized the entire series, and while there\u2019s a couple cool twists in season two, the writers didn\u2019t try to one-up themselves to <\/strong><strong><em>that<\/em><\/strong><strong> degree. Were you glad that Sam and co. didn\u2019t try to force another huge, show-altering reveal just because people responded so well to it in season one?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tYeah, I think so. That was a big shadow that hung over the first season. We didn\u2019t know what episode it was going to be revealed, and we didn\u2019t know what Sugar was going to look like when his true self was revealed. So there was a bit of nervousness around that, and it was nice to be done with it in episode six of season one. The way we explore that revelation in the second season is more from a character standpoint.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThere\u2019s a little bit of backstory with Laura San Giacomo\u2019s character that articulates through their interactions what Sugar was like when he first arrived here. It allows the audience to experience how much he\u2019s changed and evolved in his time amongst human beings. Laura San Giacomo\u2019s character is a very important character because she\u2019s an indicator and a warning sign as to what can potentially befall either Sugar or any of his fellow species if they get too lost in the experience of being human. If they become too assimilated, they can lose themselves to grave consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Now that Sugar\u2019s alien nature is known to the audience, season two could\u2019ve leaned even more into sci-fi, but it mostly deals with real L.A. issues: homelessness, fentanyl, climate and a number of institutional problems. What did you make of that choice to lean into your location even more?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tI loved it because I love Los Angeles. I\u2019ve grown to love Los Angeles through the years. I can\u2019t say I understand it in the way I understand Dublin. I don\u2019t understand <em>everything<\/em> about Dublin. It\u2019s hard to understand everything about a place that has two million people bumping off each other. But here, I don\u2019t get it. I\u2019ve been in L.A. for 25 years, and I like that it\u2019s still very new to me. It\u2019s got so much texture and so many different pockets of cultures coexisting at the same time. There\u2019s K-Town, which is where a lot of the story takes place this season. There\u2019s Thai town, there\u2019s Salvadorian pockets, and there\u2019s a huge Mexican population, of course. It\u2019s an endlessly fascinating city.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSo the idea that we had to go any further afield than the issues and the beauties that this city contends with on the daily, it didn\u2019t cut muster. This show is not a sociological treatise on the struggles of a contemporary American city. It\u2019s really not. It\u2019s got a lighter touch than that by design, but at the same time, it really felt of worth to address the fentanyl epidemic here. It really felt of worth to address something that exists across all nations of the world, which is institutionalized corruption, particularly with a political slant and leaning. And through Raymond Lee and Jin Ha\u2019s Ji and Danny, we explore the issue of immigration to a certain extent. It\u2019s not a heavy-handed show, but at the same time, you can\u2019t be glib.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tYou also want to be really careful. I\u2019d be terrified that, in portraying any aspect of the homeless community in this city, you\u2019d be patronizing them, infantilizing them, exoticizing them or using it just for the show to say,\u00a0 \u201cOh look, we\u2019re so caring.\u201d When we shot some of those scenes [at the homeless encampment] beneath the underpass, there were a couple of shots and a couple of makeup choices that were made where I was like, \u201cAhh, we\u2019ve got to be careful here.\u201d I\u2019m not saying we nailed it in a respectful way. I\u2019m not saying we treated that pocket of Los Angelean society with the dignity that every pocket of society deserves to be treated with, but the worry was that we would fall short of that. I hope we didn\u2019t fall short.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBut yeah, this series doesn\u2019t lean into sci-fi as much as it could. If we go to future seasons, I would love to do a little more sci-fi, but never relinquish what the show should be at its core. Before we shot the pilot [four] years ago, we spoke about how this is a show about human beings in Los Angeles, which, to greater and lesser degrees, are like human beings everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Are you ready for another sweaty summer under Oz Cobb\u2019s 30-pound bodysuit and two pounds of silicone rubber?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\t(<em>Laughs<\/em>.) Thankfully, [<em>The Batman: Part II<\/em>] won\u2019t be the whole summer, man. I only have about two or three scenes. So I\u2019ll just be a couple of weeks, but the good thing is that I will get to enjoy more of the film than I would if I was in it more.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2631\">Karlovy Vary Is Very Proud to Be the World\u2019s Second-Oldest Film Festival<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t***<br \/>Sugar <em>season two is currently airing new episodes every Friday until Aug 7.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colin Farrell will soon be reprising Oz Cobb for the third time in Reeves\u2019 The Batman: Part II; he talks the darkness of Penguin and lightness of Sugar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2636,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[774,775,979,533,2062],"class_list":["post-2637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-colin-farrell","tag-sugar","tag-the-batman","tag-the-batman-part-ii","tag-the-penguin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
