The Oscar-winning Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey has featured in several blockbusters and critically acclaimed movies.
One of the most iconic characters of his career includes the role of the homicide detective, Rust Cohle, from HBO’s anthology series True Detective. He was reportedly the first actor to be cast in the show and was later joined by Woody Harrelson, who portrayed Cohle’s partner, Detective Marty Hart.

The series follows two detectives as they revisit one of their earlier investigations while dealing with their personal issues as well. Being an anthology, every season of the show focused on new characters and introduced a new cast. While it was one of the reasons the Interstellar star accepted the offer, he later shared that he missed playing Detective Rust Cohle.

While he was confident that the show would do wonders, there was another reason to accept the offer. “That was always how I saw it. One season, eight episodes, a finite beginning, middle, and end, goodbye, look forward to watching it,” he shared.
The Gentleman star stated that if he had been required to return in a second or third season, he wouldn’t have said yes to True Detective. However, once the 8-episode series was over and he was done playing Rust Cohle, the actor shared that he missed him.
