Ólafur Darri Ólafsson Laughed His Way Through Drummond’s Last Stand
“When I was filming, I was like, This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I had to shut down,” says the Severance actor.
“The first time I arrived on set and saw those long white hallways, I was giggling.” Ólafsson was unaware at the time that his character, Mr. Drummond — a menacing, stone-faced Lumon executive — was going to meet a comically grisly end in the season finale courtesy of a tag-team ass-whooping from Mark S. (Adam Scott) and Mammalians Nurturable department head Lorne ( Gwendoline Christie). The sequence opens with confirmation that Lumon has been raising those baby goats for a very specific purpose — animal sacrifice, in fact — as Drummond tries to force Lorne to shoot one in the head with a nail gun. “I did give Adam a concussion, though, which wasn’t great.” The moment, which made the episode’s final cut, occurs when Drummond whips Mark S. around and pushes him into a wall.
