    I was a PA for three seasons on VEEP and can vouch that Sam Richards is the best, just as lovable in real life. His first day on set he improvised so many good one liners it was obvious we hadn't seen the last of him. Him and Tim (Jonah) struck gold when they were together on and off set.

      Wow, very cool. "Richard" is one of my favorite characters of all time, in anything, so it's nice to hear he's as lovable off screen, as he is on it. What an amazing show to be a part of, great to know you have such positive memories from your time there.

      Of all the millions of things that get called underrated Richard Splett is the least underrated. He went from a very minor character to a main character, featuring in every episode, with multiple story arcs and ended the series as POTUS. Not everything is underrated, there are other adjectives.

But it's nice that even in Veep's cynical world, America still had the ability to become a better and more clear-eyed place in.. what, a few decades?

    I think the final scene of the show where Richard has been president for two consecutive terms in landslide victories goes against Selina’s entire arc in the show, where she does anything at all possible to get ahead. She only serves one term by clawing and scratching her way to the top; meanwhile Richard is perfectly amiable and decent to everyone he comes into contact with, and ends up serving two terms with his dignity intact.

    Sam Richardson was stunning. Everything he said was funny, That was pretty much all due to his delivery - the way he subtly altered his tone of voice from word to word, his posture, his eyebrows. It was a magnificent but quiet performance. He wasn't trying to out shine anyone else, or chewing the scenery, but every time he was on screen...HE was what grabbed all the attention.
