Landing the part of Richard Splett on HBO?s ?Veep? wasn?t an overnight trip for comedian Sam Richardson.
The actor auditioned a few times, for a couple different roles, and by the time the role of Richard rolled around, he was feeling a little ?bummed,? by the whole process, Richardson told TheWrap in a recent interview. ?Should I even waste my time?? he asked himself. But he auditioned, and it turned out that good things come to those who try, try again. He landed the part, and the over-literal, hyper-educated but hugely naive aide to Selena Meyer landed a spot in our hearts as one of the best and most hilarious parts of the Emmy-winning sitcom.
As soon as Richardson did his first table read, he said he knew there was something special about this particular group of comedians ? Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tony Hale, Matt Walsh to name a few. On that first day, he noticed that everyone was ?giving a hundred percent and was really having fun with each other, and they were all laughing and really enjoying the material. I was like oh, this just seems like a different environment.?
