‘Presumed Innocent’ Star Peter Sarsgaard Talks Finale Twist and Defends Tommy: ‘He’s a F—ing Machine … I’m Surprised People Have Any Issue’


'Presumed Innocent' star Peter Sarsgaard on that finale twist, working with his brother-in-law Jake Gyllenhaal — and Tommy's cat and bolo tie.

On the day Apple TV+ dropped the highly anticipated finale of its courtroom thriller “Presumed Innocent,” Peter Sarsgaard, who plays the show’s chief prosecutor, is off the grid. But when Tommy returns home to celebrate his day in court, he is greeted by his cat — and the missing murder weapon, a fire poker, which had been left for him with a rather pointed note to “Go fuck yourself.” With his own cat Dinna crawling all over him –– ”I swear I didn’t tell her to do this!” –– Sarsgaard talks to Variety about the finale, working alongside his actual brother-in-law Gyllenhaal, whether he ever thought Tommy did it and what he thinks the eccentric ADA gets up to in his office at night.
