Rolling Stone profiles Stephen Root, tracing how four decades of playing overlooked, melancholic everymen—from Milton in Office Space to Bill Dauterive on King of the Hill and Monroe Fuches in Barry—culminate in his latest role as Wyck on Apple TV+' Widow’s Bay, where his humanity-driven approach anchors the show’s darkly comic horror. Root discusses his “internal nerd” sensibility, his fearlessness in playing flawed characters, and his collaborative work with Hiro Murai, all of which keeps him anonymous in the crowd even as his performances linger.

"Barry Season 4 Episode 6: New Fuches and The Wizard"

Stephen Root's character Fuches in the fourth season of Barry looks drastically different after being released from prison, with tattoos covering his arms and chest, painted black nails, and crazy eyes. Root relished playing the transformed character, with the finishing touches hammered out practically day-of. Fuches' appearance and demeanor have been fundamentally changed by his time in prison, altering everything from his appearance to the way he carries himself. Despite the transformation, Fuches is still the same lost lamb, and his change comes when he finally gets respect.
