so here's an interview with john hawkes (hank prior): https://www.gq.com/story/true-detective-night-country-episode-5-john-hawkes-interview
the hank that he first read when offered the show was not a complex character so he and issa made up a backstory and for a long time he wasn't a fan of hank being a musician: "I just thought Hank would be a very different person if he had a creative outlet".
he also thought the bride was real: "The way that I'd written the backstory was that she was going to come at Thanksgiving and then couldn’t because her mother was ill. And so I sent her more money, and everything was set up, and she doesn't come.But when I first read it, I thought she arrived and I was thinking, I know a really great Polish actress who would be cool for the role."

[about his ending]Your character meets a dramatic end in this episode. What did you think when you first encountered his death in the script?
It was a very different scene. It was the problem scene out of the five episodes that I was in, and Issa agreed. We met-Jodie and Kali Reis and Isabella Star LaBlanc and Finn Bennett and I. We had a couple of weeks to have all-day meetings where we would read the episodes, discuss, rewrite together. We rewrote that scene piece by piece to try to make it more believable, more subtle, and just more in service to the story as a whole.
Was Hank not going to die originally, or die in a different way?
The strokes were much broader originally. And there were things that strained credibility. So it was all about making it believable. Even up until we were shooting-I came in to shoot on that day and an idea had come up about how if Jodie's somehow unarmed, it can all work. If she's got a weapon on her, it's probably not going to work. So the idea that she takes her sidearm off and lays it on a table, and then I pick up that weapon-that was something that was decided at the last moment.

Were you a fan of the previous seasons at all?
I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't seen any of them. I should lie about that, but yeah, I don't watch a lot of stuff. I just really don't. I read a lot and watch a lot of nature programming.
One last thing: I was told that you don’t own a computer. Teach me your ways.
Well, I just didn't join up. I do have a computer, but I was on a computer in 1976, and the next time I was on a computer was maybe 2012. So I have a computer. I didn't have email until COVID. Didn't have a smartphone until COVID, but I needed to get food and my computer was breaking. And my flip phone, I wasn't really able to order things I needed. I've never been on Amazon to this day. I mean, I have running water and electricity. I have all the modern amenities. The more time I look at a screen, the less happy I feel.

[Spoiler (click to open)]it taking a couple weeks to come up with a plot device to make it believable (and nobody thought before that day that maybe it makes sense a cop would take their holster off in the house?) really explains a lot about this season

he did a great job with the role, hank came across uncomfortably pathetic and i'm glad they gave him something with bite at the end, the acting from all three of them in the shooting scene was fantastic

Now I’m dying to know which Polish actress he meant
