Armando Iannucci has used Zach Woods briefly, but very sagaciously over the years in both In The Loop and VEEP. Woods really has a knack for playing the sort of beautifully inept characters that Iannucci has founded his entire brand on.
Iannucci’s new HBO series Avenue 5 will see Woods in a much more substantial role that will allow Woods to get more in over his head than he has been in his past collaborations with Armando.
Just see how satisfying it is with Woods “attempting” to make a space cruise “sound” luxurious.
Avenue 5 will premiere next Sun. Jan. 19th on HBO.
