Ep323 - Andrew Herr, Actor Hulu Comedy ‘Letterkenny’


Listen Later

Andrew Herr spent the bulk of his childhood playing hockey, until he moved senior year, and got involved with acting and theaters in the new environment.
Herr is best known as Jonesy on ‘Letterkenny,’ where he plays one of two bumbling hockey players in a small town in Canada. The character-based series is made up of “hicks, skids, hockey players and Christians.”
In this interview, Herr talks about how ‘Letterkenny’ inspired him to get into screenwriting, the positive limitations of low-budget writing, his favorite recent horror movies, the benefits of writing with partners, and what’s next for the series that is currently on a live tour.
Make sure to also read our interview with ‘Letterkenny’ co-creator Jacob Tierney on Creative Screenwriting’s website.
