FX ‘Fargo’ TV Series Cast Martin Freeman ‘Office’ Rape Pleas; Billy Bob Thornton Retirement; Key and Peele Finale Spoilers [UPDATE]

FX Network have a real audience pleaser on their hands in critically acclaimed TV series inspired by the Coen Brothers' cult movie classic of the same name, 'Fargo.' Though the script is clearly phenomenal, the impressive tone of the television show is set as much by the amazing cast as it is writing or direction. In addition to having alternative comedy trend setter Bob Odenkirk play small minded, small town sheriff Bill Oswalt, showrunner Noah Hawley has renowned comic team Keagen-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, better known simply as Comedy Central's Key and Peele, playing FBI G-men, Special Agents Budge and Peeper. Peter Jackson Bilbo Baggins Hobbit, Martin Freeman certainly surprises viewers as emotional conflicted wife slayer Lester Nygaard. Spoilers: the 'Office' alum always knew he would be believable as a real-villain; he's been pleading with his agents to get him to role of a mass killer or rapist for years. Grumpy Billy Bob Thornton's inner contempt can be seem in the eyes of Lorne Malvo; the 'Sling Blade' visionary claims to have retired from directing major motion pictures, due to a lack of interest in his latest projects.
