Bill Hader weighed in on his character in Barry in the hit HBO black comedy.
Speaking with Variety, the 44-year-old said, "Barry has always been like, 'I want a family. And a dog. The whole thing."
The actor added, "He wants the American dream. In season 1, there's a scene where he has a daydream of him and Sally and a kid, and they're getting their family photo taken. That is his North Star."
The It Chapter Two also opened up about Sally on a pedestal.
"She's like a beacon of hope," Hader continued. "She always has been." Speaking about Barry's unhealthy fantasy world."
"Barry has a very clear view of family," adding, "Sally Reed looks like the girl next door, the perfect picture of what the American dream is to a guy like him," the star said.
