(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Hulu’s “Catch-22” through the six-episode limited series’ finale.)
Fans of Joseph Heller’s classic World War II novel “Catch-22” know that John Yossarian spends a significant amount of time fully nude. So when Christopher Abbott signed on to play the bombardier protagonist in Hulu’s six-episode limited series adaptation of the book, he knew he was getting himself into getting out of his clothes.
But Abbott tells TheWrap he was perfectly fine with that, even when it meant doing a scene in which star George Clooney (who plays rapidly-promoted training officer Scheisskopf) inspects his testicles with a pencil after they get “blown off” (Yossarian’s words, not ours) during a mission.
