For three and a half seasons, Stephen Root had the rare distinction of playing one of TV’s most manipulative characters: Monroe Fuches. But halfway into Barry Season 4, Root has an even rarer opportunity: playing his scheming antagonist’s second life. Having evolved dramatically during his time in prison (which lines up perfectly with the final season’s eight-year time jump), Fuches emerges in Episode 6 as a ruthless crime boss known as “The Raven,” finally embracing the pseudonym foisted on him back in Season 3.
