I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Or maybe he’s recurring through flashbacks in season 2?The Argonaut wrote:I was also a bit surprised when he showed up, as he's definitely a bigger star than any of the actors on the show and that appearance was basically an extended cameo. I guess it's important that the character has some gravitas and that the audience immediately likes him or feels drawn to him, and a familiar face helps with that. So maybe the showrunners went out of their way to cast someone famous like him. I have no idea though. Maybe he's banging the producer or something, I don't know
