Nick Offerman played the beloved character Ron Swanson in the comedy series Parks and Recreation.
He won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor and
in a drama series for his role in a heartbreaking episode of the series The Last of Us.

Nick Offerman, welcome back to Fresh Air.
This series is great and you're so good in it.
You said that playing this role really scared you.
What was so scary about it?
Well, I've read when you're preparing for a role, you think a lot about facial hair, maybe all of your hair, but facial hair in particular.
And I imagine, too, you think a lot about physicality, like how would this character carry himself?
What does he look like physically?
Can you talk about what you thought about in terms of your look when you were playing Jinx, who was, you know, had been a wrestler, a little past his prime?
Yeah, you're shown wrestling in flashbacks, you're sort of on videotapes, and then you wrestle at an expo for wrestlers, and you even wrestle Nicole Kidman's character.
Now, you do a lot of acting with a baby in this show, holding a baby, actually comforting a baby because your character, Jinx, is surprisingly tender and really great with the baby and able to calm the baby down.
I was thinking, wow, Nick Offerman is really acting with this baby a lot.
And that seemed like a very good little actor.
