Veep (HBO)After seven seasons
how close is
your friendship?
Hale: Our characters are
so awful to each other
that we balance it by being
crazy in love off-set.
Louis-Dreyfus:
It’s a gorgeous thing for
this show to be
feted, but the real gift
has been the actual
work itself and forming
these relationships.
What do you remember
about Tony’s audition?
Louis-Dreyfus: I thought,
“If we can get
this guy, we will be gold,”
and I was right.
Hale: I was a nervous
wreck. I think I crapped
my pants that day.
What was it like filming
the finale?
Louis-Dreyfus: When
it was each character’s
last scene everyone was
a wreck. Matt Walsh
grabbed the mic and sang
“Single Ladies.” It was
very bizarre, but he
explained he was doing
that so he wouldn’t cry.
Hale: Of course we
were all crying while he
was dancing.
