Yeah. Parks and Rec is a great show but it isn’t as popular and doesn’t get as much recognition as other shows that Michael Schur has produced, such as the Office. I personally think Parks and Rec is better though because of this. The Office is so common everywhere that it feels overrated and overused, but parks and rec is different. People make memes on the internet using Parks and Rec templates but they don’t even know what the show is.
"He's a little confused, but he got the spirit" or another fun quote He's 5 years too early... Chris Pratt currently plays Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation. LOL!
@@thoreschmidt Yea exactly! They start a season right after and Ben is walking with him. He asks Andy, "Hey so how'd you lose so much weight in three months anyway", to which Andy responds, "I just stopped drinking beer." Ben asks how much Andy was drinking, and Andy just laughs and goes "probably too much"

It makes sense if you consider his real character trademarks starts really with season 2. 1st season of P&R, where Ron Swanson is just "a libertarian working for the gouvernement" is just above average, even Michael Schur and the cast agree on that.
I'm so glad he mentioned Axe Cop. I know to everyone else on the planet he's Ron Swanson, but to me he will always be Axe Cop. Such an under appreciated show.
Greg Daniels and Mike Schur (Mose!) have proved time and time again that they know what they're doing. I feel like every story we hear about their decisions, as well as casting director Allison Jones, turns out to be a success story. Almost everything these 3 touch, together or individually, is gold.
@@jackcooper4936 you know the Ron character was intended to be an unflattering satire of OTT libertarians, right? If you were agreeing with him politically, you got duped.
Count me in! He played one the best and memorable characters in season 2 of Fargo. Watched the entire video waiting for it being mentioned. His career is incomplete without it.
The ep of P&R where Ron and Leslie make up always makes me cry. I have the lyrics to Buddy on my wall and every episode of P&R downloaded for when I feel sad and need a pick me up. Favourite show in the world
Parks and recreation was more than a show... it was like something we could all relate too. We have all meet a Leslie Knope, a ron Swanson, a Gerry, a April ludgate, a Andy dryer and a Tom. But Ron is special. Gosh, I love that show!!
This should’ve been made AFTER his freakin AMAZING role in “The Last Of Us”, because this seems empty without that CAREER DEFINING role! Best role EVER!!!!!
It seems like Nick Offerman just is himself in any role and his voice and intonation carries everything. That, and he seems ambitious and well connected.
I was really hoping he'd have talked about 'Karl Weathers', the lawyer of Luverne, MN he played in season 2 of 'Fargo'. He was in 5 episodes and was perfect in every scene.
Axe cop is absolutely one of the best comic book adaptations and Nick Offerman’s role is utter perfection haha, I share in his disappointment it didn’t catch on
I love this guy! He is such a natural, wholesome, funny and professional actor. Every role he did is gold! Thanks Nick for giving me a lot of movie suggestions!

Sounds like you’re introducing Duke Silver
Have you seen the short film "the gun fighter" he is the narrator and it sounds like he was born for that type of role.

This series is genius. It allows actors to basically pitch everything (major) they've worked on and I find myself wanting to watch it all.
Everytime I see Nick I get more impressed for how good of an actor he is and overall how good of a person he is.
I know right, Ron can make you think hes an actor named Nick Offerman, its uncanny.
@Nopey No why u think that? 🧐
Love that fact that he still remembers the directors, the cast, and special moments on set.
He was phenomenal as Bill on The Last of Us.
the ultimate survivalist - with a tender touch ;)
NBC fought against this guy playing Ron Swanson.. anyone involved in that should’ve been fired
They fought against him being Mark, actually
I was referring to them making him audition for months and looking at every other option

they fired michael scott too, that's why he left the office. nbc didnt renew his contract.

Ron Swanson is one of the best Character I ever seen on TV. He was flawless.
I feel like he speaks with such purpose. Like every word is chosen carefully.

I love this guy, he’s so cute and corny, and so relatable. He’s very humble as well, the way he talks about his projects is very inspirational.
You shoulda ask him about his role on "THE GUNSLINGER" a small shortfilm where he acts and makes the voice over , and is so fffff funny
Yes 😂😂
It was the gunfighter not slinger
The gun slingeris Christian Slater movie... The gun fighter short is great though funny at.... Just pointing out so other peops can check it out;-)

I love how wrong major studios are about literally everything. Like they really didn’t want Nick on the show.
Imagine if he was cast as micheal Scott
Feeling hollow?
Warren Rose as much as I love Offerman, no one else could’ve played Michael.
Big studios count numbers, they’re not artists. Props to the writers/producers for really sticking up for what they believe in.
Omg, this guy has incredible.. visual range? Like, he can pull off so many looks to the point of being unrecognizable. I love it
Love this man. He's the guy you'd live to go outdoors with, drink with, eat with, and just listen to.
