'Veep' star Matt Walsh talks comedy, travel and the bittersweet end to the HBO comedy series.
"Veep" star Matt Walsh, who portrays press secretary Mike McClintock, at the UCB Theater in Los Angeles.
and can be seen in Netflix’s National Lampoon biopic “A Futile and Stupid Gesture.” That’s in addition to his duties as one of the original members of the Upright Citizens Brigade, the improv institution he co-founded with Ian Roberts, Matt Besser andBelow, in a recent conversation edited for length and clarity, Walsh talks about the new season of “Veep” and the heartfelt emotions of the barbed series ending its run as well as his time with UCB.
The absurdity level the show reaches with behavior in politics runs neck and neck with the real world. Does it feel hard to keep up? As the seasons have gone on, there is less of the “free” take because the show got bigger, and it just feels like we have a good script, let’s just nail this. You can always play with it or try the choreography different, or to pitch jokes. . . . But the looseness is choreographed. I always feel like the camera guys are the unsung heroes of our show because they sort of pass the joke as if you’re not really seeing it.
We’re “The Man” now. We were the alt-comedy upstarts, the revolutionaries when we landed in New York. We benefited from no one else in New York doing long-form improvisation. So kids would see us and they were like, “That’s what I want to do.”
