The 45-year-old American actor and comedian plays the titular role, a repentant hitman aspiring to be an actor in Los Angeles.
The show’s production was greatly hampered by the Covid epidemic beginning in 2018, with the third season being delayed by nearly two years.
The programme, which also starred Happy Days veteran Henry Winkler and Sarah Goldberg, ended abruptly in 2023 after four seasons.
During that time, lead actor Bill said that working on the programme began to catch up with him in more ways than one.
‘I’m 45 and I put on weight way faster than I used to,’ he explained. ‘That’s what I really learned, that I’m suddenly 25 pounds overweight.’
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said that he’d have to change his diet to lose the weight after realising his metabolism was slowing down.
The former Saturday Night Live star admitted to being puzzled at first: ‘How the hell did that happen? I’ve learned I can’t eat sweets the way I used to.’
‘I think it was toward the end of the season that the costume designer was like, “I think you need to wear bigger clothes” – I don’t train at all!’
Bill went on to say that instead of properly preparing for his role in the criminal drama series by exercising, he frequently ‘eats a lot of doughnuts and stress.’
Earlier this year, the actor, who also appeared in Superbad, said that he dislikes seeing himself on TV or hearing his own voice.
‘[Watching yourself is] no fun, just in general. I don’t like the way I sound. I don’t like the way I look. It’s just embarrassing,’ he told The Independent.
‘But I’ll be 45 in two months, so the weight thing is more of a health thing now. You go to a doctor and they say, “At this age and height, you should weigh this.”‘
