Now that the FX hit has wrapped its first season, let's appreciate how the dude at the center of it pulled a Dylan to deliver a late-period masterwork
shows another level of maturity, another shelf in the case. Consider the trick Bridges pulls from the closing moments of the fourth episode through the opening of the fifth: He goes from pleasant head-cocked dinner table charm to looming rage to acquiescence to raspy nodding acceptance, all within moments. And it all feels believable, like a bit of disappointed dad manipulation, where you can’t tell exactly who is being convinced of what and to what end.
As a father, Bridges’ Dan Chase is the type to casually toss a “what happens to me, happens to me, that’s not important.” Or philosophize on “the series of events it took to create this moment.” He might scold for missing the agreed-upon pickup spot, while furiously commanding a speeding getaway boat. He can be dismissive or metaphysical or unforgivingly passive-aggressive . He can convince, with only trace condescension, a civilian of being a “highly trained operative.
“I learn by doing” and “the weak are mostly dead” are throwaways, and if you can picture another actor delivering such lines, it’s not as easy to see someone else physically embody such a presence. Like the way he sits on a bed after a day of traveling, fortifying against rising fatigue as much as the chasing years, nearly reminding himself to hold steady against gravity, defying age with focus and good posture.
