'There was a lot of silliness happening with other characters; I wanted to play this as straight and real as possible,' Lamorne Morris says of his role as a state trooper on 'Fargo.'
Lamorne Morris unfailingly brings the laughs to acclaimed TV series and movies . The Second City-trained Chicagoan is up for his first Emmy, though, as the straightest shooter in the wackazoid cast of “Fargo’s” fifth season: North Dakota state trooper Witt Farr. A rare decent man on showrunner Noah Hawley’s vast Northern Plains, Witt is wounded while trying to help protagonist-with-a-past Dot escape ruthless kidnappers sent by her deranged Christian Nationalist ex, Sheriff Roy Tillman .
” Witt faces little overt racism, but as a Black man in the militia-ridden MAGA bastion where he lives and works ... Joe Keery and I had a bit of a standoff in the police evidence locker in Episode 3. He tells me he beat a Black boy with a tire iron and how if I keep getting in his way, that’ll happen to me. That kind of set the tone for who I’m dealing with. Outside of that, I already knew that about these people.
