Bateman’s acting resume before Ozark was littered with big and small screen comedies like Arrested Development, Horrible Bosses, and many others. He even lent his voice to the children’s animated feature film Zootopia. Though often the straight man in these comedies, Bateman had not explicitly shown his dramatic talents until Ozark premiered in 2017. Bateman shines as a criminal money launderer, earning critical praise for his performance. Though a drastic departure from his usual roles, Bateman lends his name to the long list of comedic actors who have proven that they can launch a powerful performance given the right dramatic role. Bateman earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding lead actor in a drama series at the 2018 awards. Laura Linney plays Wendy Byrde, wife of Marty and partner in crime. Linney has received critical acclaim for her performance, but acting in a drama is much less of a genre shift for her than Bateman. Linney, a three time Academy Award nominee, is no stranger to critically acclaimed dramatic roles.
Ozark is certified binge-worthy, as many of the fans are spending hours with the Byrde family in anticipation of the season two release. Check out the season 2 trailer if you’re not already excited enough.
