Comedian and actor Jeff Hiller has managed to land roles on two of
the buzziest TV shows of the last year. He just earned his second
Emmy nomination for a guest role in “Pluribus,” and he seems poised
for an even bigger role in the second season of the comedy horror
“Widow’s Bay.” His success builds on his Emmy-winning breakout
performance in HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere” as Joel, the
compassionate best friend to series star Bridget Everett’s
character, Sam. Kara and Jeff talk about why he thinks people are
drawn to shows like “Pluribus” and “Widow’s Bay,” why Hollywood
rarely tells stories about the middle class anymore, and the role
faith has played in his life. They also talk about why it’s still
hard to land roles, despite Jeff's Emmy success. Questions?
