Review: Ray’s affability inclines you to like him
continued from page
trade involves threatening, beating
and burying those whom he’s told de—
serve it.
Ryan plays Ray with a casual af-
fability that inclines you to like him,
even when you’re pretty sure you
shouldn’t.
The intimidation factor ofRay’s bul-
let—shaped bald head, and his sharply
goatee-f'ramed grin full of pointy teeth,
are offset by how rarely Ray raises
his voice, and by how much his heavy,
sleepy—looking eyelids lend him a re—
semblance to Garfield the cat.
It was a line that another media
critic wrote in reviewing the perfor—
mances of'U.S. actor Jefi‘Kober, and
it’s just as true of Scott Ryan; like
a coyote who learned how to walk like
a man.

Just early episodes ot'“The So-
pranos” cajoled audiences into laugh—
ing cathartically at Tony’s sociopathic
antics, so too does “Mr. Inbetween”
get us to root for Ray for a lot of'wrong
reasons.
While “The Sopranos” ultimately
maintained faithful f'ans’ engagement
by getting them to question, as his
therapist Dr. Melfi did, whether Tony
might actually manage to approach

redemption (spoiler alert: he doesn’t),
what’s so refreshing about “Mr. lnbe-
tween” is Ray’s relative lack ofa matu-
rational arc.
Yes, Ray weathers some serious’
losses, and demonstrates an unexpect-
ed grace in choosing to let his bitter-
ness pass, with regard to his upbring-
ing and his relationships, but through
it all, he remains a defiantly unbowed
bastard t0 the last.
