The A.V. Club: How many times have you worked with Matt Walsh? You had him as one of your UCB teachers, correct? Brian Huskey: Correct. Matt was one of my UCB teachers, and I have known him for a staggering 15, 17 years or something like that. At a certain point, which I’m happy and proud of, I was doing ASSSSCATwith him and starting to just do ran...
AVC: Is Veep also improvised? BH: To a degree. Veep’snaturalistic style indicates to everybody that it’s improvised, but the writing on that show is so amazing that you don’t go too far from the script. If anything, doing Veep you’ll do a take and do another take, and if they feel like they got what they want, then they’ll do what they call a “fun ...
AVC: It seems like a lot of your roles have come from existing relationships you had, which is a good thing. For example, Childrens Hospital. You’ve worked with Rob Corddry quite a lot. BH: Rob actually got me into comedy. We were roommates, and I was a photographer at the time, and he was working with this sketch group. He was like, “You’re funnie...
AVC: Was this one of your first big jobs? BH: Yes. That was one of the first ones I did where I was surprised because I didn’t know how many people it was reaching. It’s kind of like my ignorance with Twitter sometimes. It’s like, “Oh, this isn’t just going to my 12 friends. This is going out to thousands of people potentially.” But, yeah, that was...
BH: Great, great, great show. AVC: How did that come about? You were doing web videos for The Onion, and then that translated to the TV show? BH: I was Duncan Birch! That is one of my favorite things I’ve ever done, because The Onion is consistently one of the most brilliant comedy entities ever. When they started doing videos, we used to do these ...
AVC: Horrible segue, but you’ve worked with Seth Rogen a couple of times. How did you get cast in those projects? BH: I auditioned for Superbadand I was cast as the principal in that, which got whittled down to a blip of a scene because I was supposed to do this scene with the young Jonah Hill character where I was praying for his salvation, and [d...
AVC: Is Adam McKay included on that list of directors that let you play? You’ve worked with him a few times. BH: Yes. Yes. He’s been another person that has been fantastically great and supportive to me. I think doing Step Brothers and Land Of The Lost, those were some early gigs that I got that boosted my confidence and showed me what I like so I ...
AVC: Speaking of that, you played a doctor in two episodes of House. Was that something you auditioned for? BH: No. That was an offer I got because the director had seen my work for a show I used to do on VH1 called Free Radio, and he was friends with the creator, Lance Krall, and he just thought I could do it. Honestly, it was very terrifying for ...
AVC: Was that the case on The Newsroom? That’s another walk-and-talk. BH: That one, they wanted me for the series, but I realized very quickly that there wasn’t going to be a whole lot of hard-hitting action thrown to the technical director in the control room. AVC: Didn’t you show them your news reading experience? BH:Yeah. I was like, “Look at my...
AVC: Did they ask you to be a full-time cast member on NCIS in 2013? BH:Yeah. I was really surprised. “You know this guy who is in this one motel scene? We’re somehow going to make him a main character.” That role is the one thing that my Aunt Jenna points to and refers to as the highlight of my acting career because it’s the one thing she can wrap...
