I remember when I first saw Zach Woods. It was in the Armando Iannucci film "In The Loop." His comedic sensibilities matched so perfectly with what I demanded as a consumer of comedy—bold choices, molded in subtlety, grounded in reality. He has continued to morph and advance his style with unforgettable roles on "The Office," "Silicon Valley," and now again for Iannucci on "Avenue 5," where he plays cheerful nihilist Matt Spencer, Head of Customer Relations. In this episode we have a far-reaching conversation on his approach to the craft. Summary: the greatest comedic actors take the work VERY seriously, work hard, and still have fun.
