Also the driver/interpreter's sister that Jack Black is all over? :thumbsup:

Also, the interpreter that Tim Robbins' character was all over? :thumbsup:

A comedic actor and politics? Two things I hate.

But then someone mentions Carla Gugino.... ooooooh.

really, you hate Tom Hanks? Who hates Tom Hanks?


anyway, this show is hitting home runs every episode. I don't even know why they air this Ballers turd next to this one. :D

Who is Carla Gugino? Tim Robbins' hot-ass wife?

Pretty much this. The GF is a True Detective fan so I'm already on HBO but as soon at the Ballers intro starts I find something... anything else to watch for 30 mins before changing it right back to HBO for The Brink.

She was in Watchmen too and nobody hates Tom Hanks, he is unhateable.

Larson's assistant is easy on the eyes too.

Sorry this generation of comedic actors... Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell, Steve what's his face from The Office, and to an extent Adam Sandler. Incredibly annoying on any screen.

I have no problems with guys like Hanks or Robin Williams. They have a full range to their acting prowess and command respect. Those other guys are fricken clowns.

Here's a 23yo Carla. Incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BMwcO6_hyA

Uhhh...

Have you seen "Steve what's his face from The Office" in Foxcatcher or Little Miss Sunshine?
Have you seen Jim Carrey in The Majestic, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or even The Truman Show?

They are tremendous actors -- don't underestimate them.

Another outstanding episode last night.
Arguably one of the best shows on TV right now.

Loving this show. They seem to top each week with the following week. Absolutely hilarious and well done. All the characters mesh well together with their own style.

I keep telling my buddy this same thing -- "Last night was the best episode YET!" It's silly how it gets better and better. Season almost done though :(
