"Barry" star OK if Sally is "a monster"

Sarah Goldberg attends the premiere of HBO's "Barry" at NeueHouse Los Angeles on March 21, 2018 in Hollywood, California Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic for HBO

Getting a TV show made can be a notoriously cutthroat affair. Ask anyone in the business. Better yet, tune in to the third season of "Barry," where Sarah Goldberg's determined actor Sally Reed has finally realized the goal she's been working toward since she first landed in Gene Cousineau's (Henry Winkler) acting class: She's created and stars in a TV drama based on her life called "Joplin."

Realizing a lifelong dream should, in theory, make a person more gracious. But Sally is still the same self-involved spotlight hunter that Bill Hader's assassin Barry met in the first season, when he's immediately struck by her talent for making fake emotions seem real. Now that he needs her, she's less present than ever, to the point of staging their public demonstrations of affection.
