Tony Hale on 'Veep' Cast: "We’re All a Little Too Crazy About Each Other" (EXCLUSIVE)

Some of probably the most feel-good sitcoms were breeding grounds for scathing behind-the-scenes drama — The Good Wife, Boy Meets World, Sex and the City, and Hannah Montana are simplest a few infamous examples. 

But for HBO's Emmy Award-winning comedy, Veep, that certainly wasn't the case. Although the loved political comedy collection was laced with cynical, biting humor, comic and actor, Tony Hale, tells us the cast and group's courting used to be wholesome past trust.

Distractify was once ready to catch up with Hale, who performed the bumbling political help, Gary Walsh on Veep, while he was selling the 3rd installment of his NBC Peacock animated sequence, Archibald's Next Big Thing Is Here. He reminisced about his time at the display and only had sure things to say about his hilarious and talented colleagues. Tony Hale even told us his thoughts on a potential movie, reunion, or spinoff collection.

Tony Hale says the cast of 'Veep' would love not anything greater than to do another installment of the series.

After seven superb seasons of Veep, it's protected to say the cast and staff spent relatively a bit of time in combination. With so many attention-grabbing personalities working in entrance of the camera and in the back of the scenes, Hale tells us there was once by no means a uninteresting second on set — and that they might give anything to do some other challenge in combination again.

"Oh man, I know all of us would love to do [a spinoff]! [We'd take] any chance we could get to work together — we’re all a little too crazy about each other," he laughs.

"Some of my favorite stuff to watch — I do love watching the show — but it’s always watching the gag reels, because of how much we made each other laugh. I do miss that. And I miss just hanging out on set without masks, and just hanging out, catching up, and living life together."

"Before [the pandemic] we’d get together with those who lived in Los Angeles and just laugh. Just tell old stories, that’s my favorite stuff, is to tell old stories and laugh, it's the absolute best," he says nostalgically.

Working along such hilarious actors, he says, was once a primary challenge.

With so many seasoned comedians acting on and writing for Veep, including Seinfeld's Julia Louis-Dreyfus (who played VP Selena Meyer), Timothy Simons (who played Jonah Ryan), and Matt Walsh (who performed Mike McLintock), Hale says that preserving a directly face whilst the camera used to be rolling may just once in a while be incredibly difficult.

"I was always blamed as the person who broke the most. That was not true — Julia (Louis-Dreyfus) broke the most, but I was always blamed for it," he tells us. 

"Even though there was one time where I couldn’t stop laughing during a scene, and she said, ‘Tony, you know you’re not watching the show, you’re in the show. And I was like, 'Alright well it's a funny show!'" 

"I do remember when we were in Baltimore during the first three years of the show, and we were all away from our families, so we all became each other's family. So we would shoot and then we would go out at night and talk about the day, and make each other laugh and have a glass of wine. Those are some times I’m never going to forget. I really love those people a lot," he says.

The cast of Veep really seems to be jonesing for a reunion or spinoff just up to we are — arms crossed we will get one within the foreseeable long term.
