Jason Bateman Teases 'Little Less Stable' Season Three of 'Ozark'

Jason Bateman happily strikes a pose alongside his co-stars Julia Garner and Laura Linney while attending the screening & reception for their Netflix series Ozark held at the Linwood Dunn Theater on Sunday (April 7) in Los Angeles.

The three stars sat down to answer questions about the show at a special Q&A moderated by Mike Fleming Jr..

Jason described his character Marty Byrde as the representative for the audience’s perspective, and in the first season he didn’t want Marty to “get riled up — it might get too noisy. We will go further with that in the next season,” he said (via Deadline). “My character is a little less stable. There will be a more interesting manifestation of that in this next year.”

“For Wendy, they had a marriage that was solid and functioned well, but they didn’t really know each other,” Laura added about playing Jason‘s wife. “They are getting to know each other in ways that they never expected.”

Timothee Chalamet Raps & Saoirse Ronan Imitates Shrek's Gingerbread Man on 'Graham Norton' (Video)

Saoirse Ronan and Timothee Chalamet were officially some of the cutest kids ever.

The 24-year-old Mary Queen of Scots actress and the 23-year-old Beautiful Boy actor – who co-starred in Lady Bird – stopped by The Graham Norton Show on Thursday (January 17) in London, England.

They were joined by Laura Linney and The 1975.

During their appearance, host Graham Norton showed a video of Timothee performing a rap about statistics for one of his old school projects, using the name “Lil Timmy Tim.”

“[The rap name wasn't] for that, I just had it,” Timothee shared, adding, “I did it with a friend on a green screen in school, and I was gonna Photoshop my teacher’s face in, but I got too lazy, so now … I’m pointing around and there’s nothing.”

Graham also played a clip of a young Saoirse doing a hilarious impression of Shrek’s Gingerbread Man on the radio, which won her a trip to Florida.

Watch all of the videos below!

Jason Bateman On Acting Helping His Directing on 'Ozark': 'Part of Directing is Acting'

Jason Bateman flashes a smile alongside co-star Laura Linney while attending their Ozark: ATAS For Your Consideration Screening and Panel held at Netflix FYSee at The Crosby Street Hotel Screening Room on Sunday (May 20) in New York City.

The 49-year-old actor and Laura, 54, were joined at the event by their cast mate Julia Garner as well as showrunner Chris Mundy.

Jason recently opened up about how his acting has helped him direct episodes for the series.

“I’m garbage when I’m really nervous. So I take that to when I’m directing,” Jason expressed (via IndieWire). “We all do our best when we’re relaxed and when we’re feeling good. Part of directing is acting and that is why actors make decent directors. Not only do you understand what an actor needs, but we’re professional liars as actors. One of the easy tricks is to go up and if you want an actor to do something, compliment on them having just done it and you want them to do a little more of it. You gotta think of what’s the positive way to say this as opposed to ‘Stop doing that,’ because that’s gonna make them nervous.”
