However, the scene-stealing stoner stumbling through the background of the mystery, Derol, is the character on everybody's mind. Played by Johnson's long-term friend (and lucky charm) Segan, he infuses the movie with funny.
'Glass Onion' star Noah Segan shares Easter eggs, a deleted scene, and the yacht-rock song that inspired his scene-stealing stoner Derol. Noah Segan, who plays scene-stealer Derol in "Glass Onion," has starred in all of Rian Johnson's movies.
Played by Noah Segan, who has appeared in every one of Rian Johnson's films to date, Derol has taken on a life of his own, becoming a favorite even on the periphery of the murder-mystery action, and perhaps because of that, a meme.
"That's my friend Noah Segan, who's actually in the first movie as well," Johnson tells EW, when we ask about Derol. "We totally re-styled him. I think he's unrecognizable in this."

Those buddies aren't just regular people, they're actress Angela Lansbury, basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, composer Stephen Sondheim and actress Natasha Lyonne. (Sadly, Lansbury and Sondheim have died since the movie was filmed.)
2013 PORSCHE 918 SPYDER - Used in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) In Glass Onion (2022), quirky tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton) keeps his Liquid Metal Chrome Blue Porsche 918 Spyder, which he calls “Baby Blue,” on a rotating platform in his glass-domed compound on a private Greek island.
The Mona Lisa is a signifier in the film as well. It represents Miles' wealth and his desire for being remembered. And so, ironically and beautifully, Helen gives Miles what he wants. He will forever be remembered in the same breath as the Mona Lisa, as it burned up.
Why The Glass Breaking Scene Was Important In Glass Onion. With Andi long dead and the killer standing just feet from her, getting away with yet another crime, Helen felt like she had no other option but to exact retribution of any kind.
Monáe, herself, was named best supporting actress for her performance in “Glass Onion” by the National Board of Review. The multidimensional characters of “Glass Onion,” Monáe says, has given her more hope that she can find films that authentically connect with her.
However, the real mystery was not why Andi joined the others on Miles' private island but what was Andi's real identity to begin with. As Glass Onion progressed, it was revealed that Helen, Andi's twin sister, was impersonating Andi to uncover the mystery of her twin's death and find her sister's killer.
In this case, they're all a group of close friends who used to meet at a bar named The Glass Onion. The mystery begins when one of them sends out an elaborate invitation to spend a weekend on his private estate in Greece.
Miles does, though, so did he clue into who his surprise guest really was at any point? Rian Johnson says the answer is no. After all, "Glass Onion" makes Klear that Miles Bron is an idiot. Supporting this, Johnson notes that Miles is just as shocked as the other characters when they realize "Andi" is really Helen.
When Glass Onion hit theaters for a limited release back in November, Grant was revealed as the actor playing Blanc's husband, Philip. Early in the film, Grant's voice can be heard offscreen, but viewers finally see him later, in a scene that takes place at Benoit's impeccable apartment.
What is the upside down painting in the Glass Onion?
In the most visible place - in the center of the main hall – we could see Mark Rothko's "Number 207 - Red over Dark Blue on Dark Gray". Interesting detail is that it purposely hanging upside down, and by this move the movie probably hints at Miles' artificial love for art.
Furthermore, "Glass Onion" was a British colloquialism of the era, making reference to a monocle as if to symbolize the detective-like prowess of their fans. In other words, much like the film Glass Onion, the mystery was never really that deep.
Glass Onion is a little different - the story/crime is for sure not that interesting or complex and there is a far stronger emphasis on comedy. One could dare to say that Glass Onion is more of a parody than a "real" crime case.
Fast forward to Glass Onion and there's more German automotive goodness. This time it's in the form of the 'baby blue' Porsche 918 Spyder, the pride and joy of eccentric billionaire Miles Bron, played by Edward Norton.
Jay, I am writing to inform you that the proposed Bangladesh factory is notoriously one of the world's biggest sweatshops. Please advise." And then you replied: "Sounds perfect, thanks." With your Memoji dabbing. Peg : Birdie... please tell me you did not think sweatshops are where they make sweatpants.
