Too bad that TJ Miller (Elrich Bachman) probably won't be associated with it.
- toyg 3y agoI can actually see a humbled TJ Miller taking a SV spinoff job to relaunch his career, at some point. A prequel would be challenging though, because of aging.
- Eisenstein 3y agoTJ Miller's problem is not that he needs to be 'humbled', his problem is that he has a reduced ability to control judgement and inhibition[0] due to having had a large part of his frontal lobe removed[1]. He is probably not going to get 'better' behavior wise. > "expert medical analyses and reports regarding the defendant’s prior brain surgery and its continued neurological impacts ... cast doubt upon the requisite legal element of intent to commit the charged offense.” [2] > Miller had undergone brain surgery several years ago after having a hemorrhage and multiple seizures. He said “a golf ball-sized” piece of his frontal lobe was removed.[1] [0] Conjecture based on knowledge of neuropsychology [1] https://deadline.com/2021/07/t-j-miller-bomb-threat-charge-dropped-1234802893/ https://deadline.com/2021/07/t-j-miller-bomb-threat-charge-d...

- toyg 3y agoStill, all of that pre-dated Silicon Valley. He was productive for several years during and after SV, so I'm sure he could be again.
- tpmx 3y agoPretty much the entire cast was great, but the standouts were, IMO: TJ Miller (Erlich) Martin Starr (Gilfoyle) Zach Woods (Jared) Kumail Nanjiani (Dinesh) (in roughly this order) [Honorary mention: Henry Phillips (John, the datacenter guy)]
- parpfish 3y agoSo… every main character except Thomas Middleditch? I think this show exemplified the power of a good ensemble. Any one of the characters would have been annoying by themselves, but put them next to each other and it’s hilarious
- tpmx 3y agoI found his efforts on the show to be relatively bland and repetitive. I think this role could have been cast in a better way.
- conradfr 3y agoMaybe you need some kind of straight character to drive the story. He's Ted in How I Met Your Mother and people said the same thing about him. Also he looks like a good blend of Mark Zuckerberg / Jesse Eisenberg.
- spitfire 3y agoUhm have you forgotten the incredible talents of Russ hanneman? (Chris Diamantopoulos)
- tpmx 3y agoCar doors that go like this, not like this!
- jimmygrapes 3y agoIf you liked him in SV, you should definitely check out Mrs. Davis (I can't even begin to describe the plot because it's fairly schizophrenic), where he plays an Australian version of Russ who dedicates his energy to combating an omniscient and omnipresent AI. He's a treasure.
- johnwalkr 3y agoCristohpher Evan Welch (Peter Gregory). Sadly he died before season one aired.
- jsemrau 3y agoTJ Miller made Silicon Valley outstanding. Without him it wasn't the same.
- dghlsakjg 3y agoApparently the issue was that he wasn’t actually acting.
