'Fargo' Cast News, Update: Cast Members Patrick Wilson and Nick Offerman Talk About Their Involvement in Season 2
Fans may already know that the second season of FX's hit crime drama TV series "Fargo" is actually the show's prequel. If fans can remember, Lou Solverson (Keith Carradine) made a reference to a Sioux Falls massacre back in 1979. Season 2 will now explore what really happened in that year. Taking the role of the young Lou is Patrick Wilson.
Wilson, who recently dropped by to talk with Entertainment Weekly expressed how enthused he is to join the series which as he revealed, "is really epic this season."
Talking about his role, the 42-year-old actor divulged that Season 2 has so many characters with "so many woven storylines." He further likened the interconnection with the rest of the Coen brothers movies like "No Country for Old Men," starring Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem.

He also made a comparison on his young Lou to that of Carradine's older character. While his version of the character is that of a "much more earnest" person who tries to deal with all the "atrocities at war" as well as those in his little home town, the elder Lou was more doleful.
"You watch him [Keith Carradine] in those scenes, especially with Billy Bob when he talks about the Sioux Falls massacre — what I love is seeing the weight that he carries about how it affected him," he told the publication (via EW).
Nick Offerman also spoke with EW, telling them about how his involvement with the series affected his fans of the "Parks and Recreation" character Ron Swanson.
"I've had to learn to take it as a compliment when people say 'I saw Nick Offerman without his mustache, and I vomited because it was so horrible,'" he told EW. "That means Parks and Rec was so effective that people can't imagine me without my mustache."
In the FX programming, Offerman plays the town lawyer named Karl Weathers – a "flowery drunk" and "true con artist."
