Tony Hale has made a name for himself as a comedy heavyweight with unforgettable roles in Arrested Development and Veep, but his latest project, Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut Woman of the Hour, takes a dramatic turn. Listen to the actor speak with Kyle Meredith about the film, as well as Arrested Development and wanting to do more with his Veep character.

Hale also praises Kendrick’s work behind the camera, noting the unique dynamic of working with someone who has an actor’s sensibility. “It’s always a gift to work with an actor-director because they know the questions you’re going to ask,” Hale says, emphasizing the trust and vision Kendrick brought to the project.

While Hale is excited to show his versatility with this dark role, he also has a willingness to revisit beloved characters like Buster Bluth and Gary Walsh. Speaking about his work on Arrested Development, Hale recalls how easily he slipped back into character for the show’s Season 4 and Season 5 revivals. Similarly, Hale speaks fondly of his time on Veep, where he says he’d love the chance to return.
