In case y'll didn't notice, the lead actor had a small part in Wolf of Wall Street as himself, apparently.

Zero One posted:Something heard at no bank, ever: "Sorry, I can't help you open a new account and deposit your $200,000". Onboarding a corporate client is actually a pretty big rigamoral, at least from the wholesale banking side. It actually makes sense they wouldn't do it without the correct paperwork. Last thing you'd want to find out, that it's a front for an Al Qaeda or whatever.

Pretty stoked The Office spinoff did not happen because Middledtich was going to be Dwight's brother.

If this show could not have the stereotyped Asian college student/intern who can barely speak English and doesn't know what's going on, that'd be great.

God drat TJ Miller really is a loving great comedic actor. I have no idea how he plays this part so genuine.

TJ Miller is brilliant, him and starr are making the show for me right now... I'm really enjoying this show, I really hope they continue in this fashion.

Curious how they plan on writing Christopher Evan Welch out of the show. He seems pretty vested in the plot at this point.

I googled an article about his death in Business Insider and it was a heartbreaking read. He was so excited to be on this show and even though he'd fought cancer for four years, it happened really suddenly and unexpectedly. I'm glad they didn't try to re-shoot it with a different actor.

I think they'll probably just have Peter die in the show too. Leaving the guys to stumble onward with little to no more direction and fixing all their gently caress ups one by one. It sucks though. Peter is one of my favorite characters.

Did you copy the wrong link somewhere along the line because those two guys have almost no similarities whatsoever other than the fact that they're both white. The guitar playing lawyer is definitely Ginsberg from mad men. Also seconding the TJ Miller love I saw earlier on in this thread, I like the show as a whole but he's really stealing the show for me so far.

So which real life figure is Peter Gregory based on? He looks most like a Steve Jobs who grew old but kept his hair. I'm guessing he's a combination of a few people?

I wasn't expecting Thomas Middleditch to be hot in a toga, but alas.  Also, this show is growing on me, slowly but surely. Zach Woods, TJ Miller, and Martin Starr are the best.

Judge has never shied away from using comic relief characters that can be loosely defined as on the spectrum (i.e. Milton Waddams).

That's gotta be some bullshit to avoid libel or something. I mean the character is named Peter Gregory and makes the dropout challenge as a real guy named Peter Thiel. I don't know much else about Thiel's personality, other than is affinity for making extremely out of touch startup-y statements, but that feels like too close to be a coincidence. hcreight posted:Judge has never shied away from using comic relief characters that can be loosely defined as on the spectrum (i.e. Dale Gribble or Milton Waddams). What makes you put Dale on the spectrum? I'm not sure I disagree, but I'm not sure I disagree.

I think they even mention in the first episode that Gregory, like Peter Thiel, is trying to build his own objectivist Bioshock-style private island for the superrich. When they started describing him I actually heard "Peter Thiel" and took a minute to realize it was a fictional character based on Thiel. grading essays nude fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Apr 30, 2014 |
