Gunderson, Norm (Fargo). A loving, devoted husband who is eagerly awaiting the birth of his first child. His wife, Marge Gunderson, is the Police Chief. He is a wildlife artist vying to have his work selected to be used on a postage stamp. He doubts his self-worth and when his picture of a Mallard is selected to go on the three-cent stamp, he sees it as a failure rather than accomplishment. Marge reassures him that the three-cent stamp is very important when the price of postage goes up.

Played by John Carroll Lynch, this small, yet endearing role earned Lynch critical acclaim. He followed up Fargo with filming two more films that same year, and, conveniently enough, they were both filmed in Minnesota.—Josh Ginsburg
