Thank you for helping jog my memory, it's been so long since I'd watched I didn't know who he was on the show!
I've watched the whole thing through twice. It really was a brilliant show.
Wasn't he also on Weeds as Nancy Botwins sole bakery employee?
He was!
I don't remember. I couldn't get into that show. She was too awful.
It was pretty good until they left the suburbs (Nancy was still pretty awful, though, so your point stands). After that, it was like they tried to re-tool the show into a narconovella and failed hard.
I just have a lot of trouble with shows where everyone is irredeemable.
Fair enough. I tried to think of one character in Weeds who was alright, and I guess it was just Isabella (a minor character that may as well have been a lamp in the background). I guess Heylia also had her head screwed on right, but she was also a minor character.
But yeah, I agree with that about irredeemable characters with the sole exception of "It's Always Sunny...". They're more caricatures of terrible people, IMO, so I guess that's what makes it work.
Also, he was great on 30 Rock.
