I felt like, on that level, he must have had a better sense of himself. Everything he’d been saying about the bad guy had been brought into the light of day. So, I wanted him to be more evolved and a little easier in his skin, in the sense that he’s been vindicated. GLEESON: I wanted him to be fairly different this season, in the sense that I couldn’t see the point of going through last season, if he didn’t learn anything from it. This kind of stuff is what you want to get your teeth into, so it’s been pretty great.īecause the storytelling has shifted a bit this season, does it feel different, as far as the things you liked about Hodges, or do you feel like you’re just getting to explore that in a different way? There was a very beaten up, flawed nobility about his soul, somewhere hidden amongst all the booze and the desperation. He was very challenged, and at the heart of him was a stubbornness about holding up certain principles, of what he felt was acceptable, as proper human behavior. They feel very alone when their job goes. People who have given themselves over to a particular life, have seen an awful lot of really bad stuff, and have maybe lost their families through over-commitment to it, amongst other things. We tried to tone that down a small bit, but it’s apparently true that a lot of retired detectives and police officers take their own lives. In the book, he was suicidal, in the opening part. I think older people have been part of other stories for quite a long time, but it’s very seldom that their emotional life is explored. It’s a bit like the way women were, for years, just as part of another story. It’s an older character that has been properly explored, which you don’t always get.

Retired Detective Bill Hodges ( Brendan Gleeson) has done his best to move on from his obsession with the psychopath, by trying to keep himself busy with work, but when unexplainable occurrences begin to happen among the hospital staff, Hodges begins to wonder if there’s some way that Brady could be responsible.ĭuring this 1-on-1 phone interview with Collider, actor Brendan Gleeson talked about what he most enjoys when it comes to playing the very flawed Hodges, why he wanted last season to affect his character this season, the importance of grounding the spookiness, the fascinatingly complex and creepy dynamic between Hodges and Brady, the fun of actually getting to work with Harry Treadaway this season, and that the relationship with Ida ( Holland Taylor) keeps Hodges from only spending time with his tortoise. Mercedes picks up a year after the attempt Brady Hartsfield ( Harry Treadaway) made to commit a second mass murder in the community of Bridgton, Ohio, landing him in a vegetative state in the hospital.
