Billy Bob Thornton’s 9 Most Badass Fargo Moments

8. Meeting Lester

After Lester smashes his own face into a window by accident, he finds himself in the emergency room. Waiting next to him is Malvo; quietly watching Lester. After politely asking for a sip but then taking Lester€™s entire drink, he engages Lester in conversation. Malvo teases the details of Lester€™s run in with bully Sam Hess from him. €˜I would have killed that man€™, is Malvo€™s ice-cold response. This was the moment that Lester€™s life changed. His chance meeting with Malvo unleashed his dark side, forcing him to dwell on the anger within. Malvo€™s ability to affect people is magnificent, and poor old Lester Nygaard (beautifully played by Martin Freeman) was doomed from this very first meeting.
