VIDEO : Jason Segel on His Hardest Role: Troubled Genius David Foster Wallace

In his new movie The End of the Tour, Jason Segel plays the revered, troubled late author David Foster Wallace ? a casting choice the media intelligentsia scrutinized like Comic-Con attendees fretting over Ben Affleck playing Batman. Tour is based on writer David Lipsky's Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself, with Jesse Eisenberg playing Lipsky, trailing Wallace on his Infinite Jest book tour for a never-published Rolling Stone profile.
