When Atlanta breaks the typical narrative structure, some of the best storytelling and cinematography is revealed.

As it turns out, the character is none other than Teddy Perkins, a strange character that made a cameo in Season 2 of Atlanta. Donald Glover played the soft-boiled egg-loving shut-in who thoroughly creeped out Lakeith Stanfield’s Darius in the episode, so everyone naturally just assumed it was Glover in costume again.
The episode ends with the cops arriving on the scene and Darius finally leaving with the piano. Unfortunately, Atlanta‘s “Teddy Perkins” episode lost out to The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, so we’ll never get to hear Perkins’s acceptance speech. The episodes in Atlanta that stand on their own serve as some of the best parts of the show. , Sure, the fact that they look different might just be the result of whatever radical facial reconstruction would have to take place after the shotgun blast at the end of the episode, but the difference led some to suspect that it was actually Stanfield in costume.

More interestIngly, though, he produced the music video for “This is America” - a music video directed, like Teddy Perkins, by Hiro Murai. I’m having trouble getting past the head shape of Olori. Eric Andre - this is something he would do, but again, he doesn't have that skin tone, so I don't think it's him. right?"
Teddy Perkins may have died a horrific death at the end of his brilliant Atlanta bottle episode last season, but it looks like the guy still managed to somehow make it to the Emmys. Finally, just as it seems Darius is about to leave with the piano, the elevator he is riding takes him to the basement where he sees a man covered from head to toe sitting in a chair. For months after filming, Donald referred to Teddy Perkins in the third person and Hiro Murai would say "We got the real Teddy Perkins". And by peculiar, I mean downright creepy. It could literally be anyone of the listed people if the height is right.
