Everything is new in Barry <\/em>season 4. Since the show\u2019s time skip a few episodes back, everyone looks a little different. But nobody looks more different than Stephen Root\u2019s Fuches. <\/p>\n
When he\u2019s finally released from prison in episode 6, he looks almost nothing like the mild-mannered everyman he passed as before. Now he goes by the Raven, complete with prison tattoos, a white tank top, painted black nails, and crazy eyes (never leave home without them). It\u2019s a persona Root relished getting to play \u2014 and one, he says, where the finishing touches were ultimately hammered out practically day-of. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think [Barry<\/em> star and co-creator Bill Hader] had a physical description in his head all throughout the season,\u201d Root tells Polygon. \u201cAnd we had to decide on the day how much of the transformation you were going to see \u2014 are you going to see his whole body? Are you just going to see a neck?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ultimately they decided on the whole body, which allows us to see how much Fuches has changed. His arms and chest are covered in tattoos (floral, skeletal, and even a red cross on his bicep), all pulled from an array of options he and the makeup artist who designed them had available. Root\u2019s favorite is the crosshairs on the back of the Raven\u2019s neck, something he \u201cdidn\u2019t even know if you\u2019d see.\u201d (Don\u2019t worry, you can.)<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was endemic of this character that he would have a target right there on his neck,\u201d Root says. It all went to his conception of Fuches as fundamentally changed by his time in prison, altering everything from his appearance to the way he carries himself. He was playing the same character, but with a completely different toolset. \u201cMy favorite characterization of the Raven is: He carries that little bag of clothes out [of prison]. But he doesn\u2019t carry it like a lunch pail like some schlub. I decided, I\u2019m going to grab the front of it.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cHe just grabbed it because it\u2019s of no importance to him. And he gives it to somebody that\u2019s of no importance. And that kind of grounded me to the stillness of this guy.\u201d <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n

Like so many other people on Barry<\/em>, it\u2019s a stillness born of brokenness, a hurt from Barry (Hader) betraying him that metastasized within him to create something darker. Of course, it also left him in a better position in prison \u2014 Root cites the lunchroom scene where everyone waits for him to eat as the moment that catalyzed the venom within Fuches to something else, and set him on the path to becoming the Raven. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe is now a powerful person within that space, which he wasn\u2019t before; he was being reviled and made fun of. So now that he has that power I think in the intervening years he got more and more confident. He put more and more tattoos on; he became grounded and centered and OK with being a killer,\u201d Root says.<\/p>\n
But though everything is new in this future world where Barry is a dad, Sally (Sarah Goldberg) is a mom, and Cousineau (Henry Winkler) is in hiding, the Raven is as much Fuches as he\u2019s ever been. <\/p>\n
\u201cI would describe Fuches as a lost lamb,\u201d Root says. \u201cAnd just a selfish person that [like], If you don\u2019t do what I want you to <\/em>\u2014 it\u2019s almost like a baby.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s all about respect. When he finally gets respect, that\u2019s when he changes.\u201d <\/p>\n
Barry\u2019<\/em><\/small>s fourth and final season<\/small> <\/em><\/small>is now airing on Sunday nights on HBO and Max. The series finale is May 28. <\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
