This is the sequence at the end of the first episode (minute 58) in which Sofia Falcone (Christine Milioti) captures and tortures Oz when she believes that he is responsible for the death of her brother Alberto. The character is naked and tied to a chair.
“Mike Marino is so twisted and brilliant”Colin Farrell explains. “He said, ‘I made you a penis for a penguin,’ and I said, ‘Really? The audience won’t even see it. I don’t know if I want to go on set with a penis penguin.” .”
The artist then explained to him that it was a Velcro accessory, therefore removable. And the peculiarity of this fake penis is that he put a small nozzle at the end. Obviously, this isn’t visible on screen, but knowing this information gives an entirely different dynamic to this violent scene. We can only imagine the other actors’ hilarious reactions to Colin Farrell.
