Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Allison Jones (Award-Winning Casting Director)

I did, Judd did. The reason I thought he was funny is because part of the scene was he had to name his character McLoving. He said McLoving instead of McLovin. Crack me up just the way he said it. Those are the little things you recognize in comedy. And he was just like Coke bottle glasses kind of a kid. The same way that Martin Starr was.

He read for all three male roles in Freaks and Geeks, all the geek roles. And he was just like, bingo, he's one of them. And knew what he was doing. He came in and he was like, wow, look at the way this kid looks and he can act. Right. Same with Tim Simons when he came in for Veep. Thank you for that compliment, by the way. Veep and Parks and Recs knocked me out, those casts.

He was at some point. I think he was. I don't know specifically. But not for V. Not for V. The way I found Tim, and it's a great sort of casting story. I should get into the Phyllis story, too. Am I taking you over too much time?

One of my associates at the time, Peter Kousakis, who's now a great manager at Mosaic, he said, would you meet my friend Tim Simons? He said, did you see that Abraham Lincoln commercial when she says, does this make my butt look big? And I said, oh yeah, that tall guy. He's cool. Of course I would see him. I love to see new people, of course, as all casting people do.

And I met him, I think we just brought him in to read for something and it was like, oh, he's really good. We put that in our head bank and I brought him in. shortly thereafter, I think, for one thing that he didn't get. And then I brought him in for the Veep pilot, which was written as like a short, stocky chain smoker. Right.

Any good casting director, you don't really read the writer's description because you need to just bring in good people.
