Fargo star Sam Spruell has opened up about his potential return as Ole Munch in a future season, including whether the character should come back. Introduced in season 5 of the anthology series, Spruell’s character is a 500-year-old sin eater who, after adhering to a code of debts throughout the show, is taught by Dot Lyon to see a more peaceful way of life. Fargo season 5 ended with him realizing he didn’t need to be surrounded by sin because of his curse, something that makes him smile for the very first time.

Speaking with Screen Rant, Spruell said that he would be willing to portray Ole Munch again in a later season of Fargo depending on the circumstances. While he enjoyed playing the character, he also believes the other characters in season 5 were important to his development, making it unclear if he’d work without them. Check out what Spruell had to say below:

Yeah, I think so. I did love playing that character. I really believed in what [creator] Noah [Hawley] was trying to do with that character, as well, and what that character represented and who he was as a man. Even though he was a supernatural character, I found everything about him, on the page, anyway, really believable. That’s so joyous as an actor to read a script or read the lines of your character and completely understand where they’re coming from and completely believe that.

So much of our job is, maybe, helping the script be better. I’m sure that was tweaks along the way, but with Fargo, I really felt like Noah’s writing for my character and throughout the show was so strong. I loved it. In that sense, I would like to [see] more of what Noah has to say through that character. However, that character, and the power of that character, only exists because of the other actors on the show, and the characters that they were playing.

If they’re not going to be there, I don’t know. Maybe he wouldn’t be as impactful, or maybe he wouldn’t be as strong. You’re only as good as your scene partners. I don’t know. It’s a tricky one. I’m on the fence about it. I’d love to come back. I’d love a spinoff. But, no, I think he ends with season 5 of Fargo, and that is it.

More to come…
