19 Jun
Summary
- Tony Dalton joins Colin Farrell in Sugar's second season.
- Dalton plays LAPD Lieutenant Ray Vega, a potential antagonist.
- The show continues its Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul connections.
The second season of the crime-thriller 'Sugar,' starring Colin Farrell, is now available on Apple TV, introducing Tony Dalton as a key new cast member. Dalton, recognized for his performance in 'Better Call Saul,' steps into the noir-infused world of 'Sugar' to play Lieutenant Ray Vega of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
While technically on the same side of the law as Farrell's character, John Sugar, early indications suggest Vega will serve as a significant antagonist. Showrunner Sam Catlin confirmed Dalton's casting as the season's primary adversary, a role executive producer Audrey Chon emphasized was highly sought after.
The series, co-developed by Catlin, continues to leverage its connections to 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul.' This includes a returning director, camera operator, and cinematographer from those acclaimed shows, alongside casting directors Sharon Bialy and Sherry Thomas.
Fans will see Dalton also appearing in 'Daredevil: Born Again' as Jack Duquesne. The inclusion of Dalton in 'Sugar' adds another layer to the interconnectedness of various popular media franchises, with echoes of 'Breaking Bad' and even connections to the DC universe through other actors' recent roles.
