I am catching up on the show "Episodes" via Netflix, and I am really enjoying it. If you're not familiar with the show, it's about two British television writers who are asked to remake their British hit show in America. The comedy comes from the various ways in which their show is destroyed by the Hollywood system, and it looks at all the aspects -- writers, actors, executives, etc.
One of the stars is Matt LeBlanc, who plays the show's lead actor, Matt LeBlanc. They've done all sorts of wonderful things with this conceit, including a great scene where Matt complains about the fact that he will probably never get another stalker: "Do you think Warren Beatty still gets stalkers? There's a window."
But here's the clip I just had to share: Matt complaining about losing out on a part to a British actor. I love British actors, but still, this must be the way every American actor who's lost out to Hugh Laurie for an American role must feel. (Warning: swearing)
