These Are Some Things T.J. Miller Said in an Interview With The Hollywood Reporter
CelebritiesDirt BagT.J. Miller, the comedian best known for playing Erlich Bachman on HBO’s endlessly frustrating sitcom Silicon Valley and slapping an Uber driver, sat down with The Hollywood Reporter recently for what they describe as “a wide-ranging and, at times, eccentric interview.”
While those are definitely words, they’re not quite the ones I would have used when describing the conversation. No, I’d use “revealing” and “embarrassing”? Miller’s ego comes off as so inflated in this piece, you’d think it could be seen from space. I had no idea he was famous outside of Silicon Valley (I’m still not entirely certain that he is) but he seems to think there is no one on the planet who does not follow his every move. It’s a wild ride—at times he’s quite humble, at others he’s an egomaniac—and these are some of the most memorable moments.
On how he left the show:
I said, “Well, the best way for me to be involved in the show is by no longer being on it.” I swear to god, that’s why the internet broke. Everybody was like, “What the f— are you talking about? You’re on this successful show. Don’t you want three more years of solid acting work and don’t you want to be a famous television actor?” And I was like, “No, not really.”
On talking to the showrunner, Alec Berg:
I didn’t talk to Alec because I don’t like Alec.
