“I found Virgil to be a more interesting character with a lot more dimension to him than I even imagined,” Pellegrino said. “Not just the comedy side of him, but the deeper side of him reconciling with his son. You don’t see that in season one where he’s more or less an adolescent 40-year-old.”
Pellegrino said even Virgil’s clothing grew with the character.
“I remember the wardrobe coordinator said, ‘He’s a peacock on a budget,’ and that’s a perfect description that we didn’t express in season one,” Pellegrino said.
