Fargo has had its fair share of peculiar characters throughout the FX anthology’s run, but even longtime fans may be taken aback by Sam Spruell‘s Ole Munch.

When we caught up with the star on set in Calgary earlier this year, Spruell did his best to describe the odd fellow who takes on a bit of a specific kidnapping role when the fifth installment of Noah Hawley‘s hit kicks off. “He exists in the darker side of the world, and once could say he’s kind of trapped in sin,” Spruell says.
