To me it broadened the narrative for Veep, because it took it out of politics. IвЂ™ve gotten a question a lot: How was it when Trump came in and own sitcom happening on CNN? It felt like there were two satires happening, and you didnвЂ™t really know what was going on. It was, like, the only thing that was there was her dresses, because that was her substance-just what was on the facade. That equation only ends in isolation and misery. She was so horrific, and she was so self-serving, and did not think about anybody else.

ThatвЂ™s what I love about the equation that Armando and David created. The audience doesnвЂ™t even realize how invested they are in GaryвЂ™s relationship with Selina (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) until we have to watch her sacrifice him.Д«ut thereвЂ™s no other way it could have ended. I was struck by how basic the finale of Veep plays too, in a way.

ThatвЂ™s a that I would say, after this year, we need to hear. So heвЂ™s like, вЂњHey, you got nice hair! Can I brush your hair?вЂќ And that relationship formed, then you found out about the narrative that she had, and then she had a redemptive ending. He didnвЂ™t have that framework, coming into the world. Forky had this relationship with Gabby Gabby (a doll who starts out evil, voiced by Christina Hendricks). Simple truths pull as much power as these complicated themes weвЂ™re throwing out there. Forky in Toy Story 4 became a real icon.Д®ven though we get older, people resonate with simple things. Over the last several years, youвЂ™ve really found a foothold in programming aimed at a younger audience. And just watching them-seeing a fabric and seeing it come to life-itвЂ™s like Tim Gunn. I would go into the wardrobe room and there are all these talented people sewing and stuff. ItвЂ™s like IвЂ™m in an episode of Project Runway. Those kinds of eyes on stuff, I donвЂ™t even understand, but IвЂ™m just fascinated by it. But it wasnвЂ™t like an over-the-top kind of thing. ThereвЂ™s three buttons on the suit, rather than just two. But then the turtleneck creates a clean line for the beard for Curtain, so it doesnвЂ™t have that rough edge. And then Benedict was warm, and greens and browns, and comfortable, and it made you want to sit down and have a cup of coffee.Д«enedictвЂ™s beard is a lot more chaotic. I walked into that room, and it just, like, made me want to stand up straight, immediately self-aware and insecure. I love Benedict and CurtainвЂ™s office spaces, because CurtainвЂ™s was very blue and cold. Cate Adair, who did wardrobe, and all of the production designers, I really appreciated that they did this kind of pastel-ish tone to it, so it doesnвЂ™t go too dark. But I know has this kind of вЂ™60s-yet-modern palette to it. ItвЂ™s like I never want to even put that out there. IвЂ™m so hesitant to Wes Anderson because IвЂ™m such a massive fan of his. So I get a glass of water, and sheвЂ™s, like, horrified. Tony Hale: SheвЂ™s at the age where I canвЂ™t say hi without embarrassing her. Vanity Fair: Is your daughter old enough to watch Mysterious Benedict Society ? I chatted with the Veep and Arrested Development actor about his new role(s) geared toward a whole new generation of fans. But Hale, whoвЂ™s brought pathos to both the Bluth family and a spork with googly eyes, slices right through the confection to expose the vulnerability within.

Like so many stories for children, Benedict Society backgrounds the tragedy so that the story can focus on infernal machines and secret messages. вЂњThey both have the same brokenness in their childhood.вЂќ The twins have a Dickensian origin story-a bleak orphanage and an adoption process that separates them. Hale is Voldemort and Dumbledore-the odd, affable genius Nicholas Benedict and the inscrutable boarding school headmaster L.

HeвЂ™s playing estranged twins in Disney+вЂ™s The Mysterious Benedict Society, an imaginative and intricately detailed young adult series that aims to dig into the appetite created by the Harry Potter-verse. WeвЂ™re on a video chat in the morning, me from my desk, he from his vacation in Alabama, where his wifeвЂ™s family is from. вЂњBenedict and Curtain both have the same trauma,вЂќ Tony Hale explains to me.
