Diedrich Bader | “Fishing” (S3E5) Veep Rewatch with Matt and Tim

Today, we’re visited by Diedrich Bader, who played campaign manager turned scapegoat Bill Ericsson! Diedrich recalls his time on ‘Veep’ and how he got to wear the “fame hat” because of the show; he talks about how taking his kids to the beach made him bomb his audition in front of Julia Louis-Dreyfus; how he never could memorize his lines and therefore was constantly nervous on set.

SYNOPSIS: Amy and Dan compete for the role of campaign manager, while Selina meets with a third candidate, Bill Ericsson. Mike causes a stir collecting his semen while at work for IVF purposes and Gary worries that his shoulder pain may prevent him from keeping his job. Meanwhile, Selina, Dan and Gary travel to Virginia to persuade George Maddox not to run for president.
