Larry David Helps Maria Sophia's Acting Skills | Curb Your Enthusiasm | Max

[@StreamOnMax]

What's your favorite Maria Sofia moment?

[@user-ge6dh3oo8k]

i like the spy kids movies

[@oaxisentertainment6481]

i like sesame street. i have to take viagra sometimes in order to please my wife.

[@brucewayne-ej3cx]

"AND I KNOW YOU STOLE MY JACKET!!"

[@davidowen74]

Well, somehow I missed her gritting and pelvic thrusting "Eat them latkas!" in the show so this take had me rolling.

[@CYE163]

Season 1 through 10. Before she was on the show.

[@superkid12345]

How she found new ways to make the absolute worst possible line read choice every time is amazing. Her and Tracey Ullman were the untouched MVPs of the season.

[@LASVEGASREALTOR]

Sorry for the spelling errors but it's hard to chew toenails and foot calluses and dictate to my phone at the same time. So excuse the spelling errors above it was a toughie

[@ysahehre4316]

That girl is an amazing actress.

[@leslielane9473]

I 100% agree. Both of them were amazing

[@olajideparis]

What character was Tracy Ulman?

[@maxscania]

​@@olajideparisIrma kostroski, the city council woman

[@therealjasonpark]

Strangely enough, this actress choosing to do the exact WRONG thing means she understands good acting choices are. So great!

[@zitronentee]

It's like Meryl Streep in Florence Foster Jenkins. She had to learn how to sing badly.

[@shannonallaround9490]

Yessss

[@flyjarrett]

Acting without acting?

[@jamesmarie]

Right, to play a terrible actor, you are a wonderful actor, period.

[@stacyg585]

Whoever casts for Curb is just a genius. Every character is perfectly cast.

[@claudiotinoue]

The legendary Allison Jones (The Office, Veep, The Good Place, Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks, What we Do in the Shadows and a ton of other comedies). You can see her cameo during the casting scene, along with Ben Harris, the other casting director for Curb.

[@redwoods7370]

Except Vince Vaughn in my opinion. He adds nothing to the show.

[@kcbasketballstars]

They could have a better Ted Danson

[@fartingshartingpig5287]

"I saw that choice that you made, and maybe it's time to make a new choice" Is such a universally useful line to repeat

The head shot cracks me up every time.

Right up there with Dr. Tobias Funke’s as the greatest head shots of all time.

The real reason why Maria Sophia is a tremendous actress is that she read Jason Alexander's best seller: Acting without Acting. Phenomenal!

she read it with dinner

She really acts like a person pulled off the street with no idea about acting at all, it's hard to believe she is actually acting, she's that good.

It's ironic that the whole arc of the season is based around getting rid of her when she's my favorite thing to watch ever

[@EmeraldIndira]

😂😂same!!

[@draculatod3559]

Her skill level is genuinely insane!!! Her ability to make something that would otherwise be so painfully cringe inducing genuinely joyful shows insane mastery.

[@apatel478]

I wish I had Maria Sofia's confidence 😆

[@LibraryCake]

She stole the whole season. The table reading scene is insane!! “So you can see why … this one is a *body roll* toughie.”

[@rahbeat9785]

Easy season to steal tbh

[@lulubelljingles9701]

She needs her own show as her dad blackmails people to give her acting jobs. I love, love love her

[@shawnac9289]

I’d watch it

[@yannicschelfhout5370]

This is an amazing performance. Comedic, scary, pushing, terrifying and even endearing. She deserves more opportunities. Again: amazing.

[@Scott-y8k]

I can't take my eyes off of her. She is just brilliant and an absolute joy to watch!

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

And she is so pretty

[@darkfact3137]

Man I'd kill for some bloopers of Maria Sophia!

[@mysticstylez5854]

Maria Sofia popping and locking during the audition tape was so hilarious 😂 "he -is not- mentaly - distuuuurbedd. and I will SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE larry. Lmfaoo 🤣 😭

[@jaymanuel3396]

Larry’s facial expressions throughout kill me! Maria going from funny, to serious to scary is priceless! Loved that Cheryl actually thought they were having an acting breakthrough, before Maria pounced on her! LOL

[@LASVEGASREALTOR]

Who thought she was having the acting breakthrough I don't think anybody thought that. The only people that like her acting was her father and later the producers said they love the screen test and thought the acting was amazing. When really the girl was flipping out and going crazy and not acting. I didn't see any scene where anybody. She had a breakthrough and was getting the hang of acting. Larry's wife said she was a worst actress ever. Am I wrong. Did I miss read your comment or did I miss a scene..

[@LASVEGASREALTOR]

I'm going to watch it again I don't think in any part it's Cheryl Express any breakthrough or any possible hint of that lady having a stack of talent. I might add that Cheryl looked more beautiful than ever. And why does Richard Lewis look so old and unhealthy. He's not aging very well people that go bald and grey at a young age. They look old when they're young. But then they become ageless. So maybe Richard Lewis looks old because he look like he did when he was young caricaturely and a added superimposed layer of zombie and witch like homeless and Hagee Down syndrome Mongol creepy hunchback like qualities and that's the Richard Lewis portrayal we see on curb. Or perhaps his great-grandfather's playing him. Or is he doing his own makeup and Lighting. That's a Tuffy

[@LizardoiL]

@@LASVEGASREALTOR 4:16 Watch the expressions on Cheryl's face before Maria goes ballistic.

[@kinggimped]

It takes true talent to be that bad. She nails it and is also the furthest away thing from nailing it possible. Incredible

[@talbrody7552]

The most exciting thing happened in Curb in a long time. Brilliant!! I hope she comes back.

[@bonniegeppert3912]

“Eat them Latkas” has never been said with such gusto! An Emmy must be given to this actress! She is awesome!❤

[@JavaEFA]

She was my favorite character this season, she’s AMAZING. We need more of her! 😍

[@slimeronio]

ewww yer hot for her, don't lie !

[@FreddyMacT]

everybody turns in a professional headshot, her headshot is her cooking. LMAO

[@jcrc1]

I have no idea how it’s possible for this show to keep getting better and better with every season but they pull it off 😂

[@LMarti13]

Ironically Keyla is an amazing actress to be able to pull off such colossally bad acting

[@antoniojames9493]

Her and Tracey Ullman was the standouts this season. They both had me 🤣🤣🤣.

[@basehead617]

I died laughing when I saw this episode when he said "you're too thin, you're like a rail" and the character is supposed to be a ballerina

[@trishcooley5810]

The way MS says she’s at a good weight! Is it the anorexic teen hating her dad? Or is this MS’s “jacket” trigger? SO funny!

[@joshhoffman1975]

Maria Sofia is the best Curb Your Enthusiasm character addition since Larry David!

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

And JB Smoove

[@laughter95]

She's one of the most hilarious characters since Leon

[@AmanCreatesArt]

She's the absolute Queen of Cringe! The perfect addition to this show. I hope we haven't seen the last of her!

[@deshaundozier]

She’s the greatest actress to ever grace the screen

[@soryapum7932]

The Face of LD when she gives her headshot is priceless. That piece of acting should be converted into a NFT worth 20 Ethereum.

[@eugenefroos]

Larry's face 🤣🤣🤣🤣 She is hysterically funny. It must be so much fun to be a part of this.

[@valentino1000]

She makes this my favorite Curb season.

[@djmotise]

The guy playing the casting director is Ben Harris, the real-life casting director who probably cast her in the show. Luv it!

[@thewkovacs316]

she was only supposed to be in one epi...i think a lot of the story line was based off of her audition she was nervous and larry kept coming after her until she broke out of her shell she got hired the day after the audition....that rarely happens

[@juanmanuelgavilan775]

a Emmy for Maria Sofía

[@clarencepeterson8646]

I wish there was more Maria Sophia in the season.

[@duncansantan]

no kidding?????

[@djmotise]

No Emmy nomination for her = no justice. Absolutely FRICKIN HILARIOUS!

[@thewkovacs316]

she may not get one from this...but she signed with uta and is getting tons of work

[@Jo-bs2uu]

its the confidence she has while failing that makes it all come together

[@weeziepuff13]

She is so excellent in this role!

[@aname5078]

It takes a really good actor to play a terrible actor. She’s incredible.

[@bonek350]

I would marry that girl in a heartbeat. lol! She can cook my favorite food and crack me up all day and I'll make sure she lives a happy life. 🤣🤣 Her best picture is of her stirring frijoles. Perfect!

Maria Sofia - Keyla Monterroso Mejia, is an excellent actress

[@krazykittymatt]

Best character on the show hands down. I couldn't breathe through the whole audition and fell on the floor when she was screaming about the jacket

[@lowrider81hd]

This is one of the best scenes this season!!!!!

[@MegaGo68]

Exec: ""We saw her audition tape, and ... we didn't like it ..." Larry and Jeff: "Eh." "It happens." Exec: "We loved it."

[@villaoceanblue]

Nobody has the skillz of Maria. She rocks!

[@tishamac529]

She’s amazing and specifically sifted through clips for her storyline

[@lullubelljingles9567]

I love Sophia.Maria she should have her own show as she struggles to make it in Hollywood while working at the family restaurant.

[@luapjb]

This part from 2:37 is so perfectly acted by Cheryl and Keyla, and the little moment of gaslighting from 2:42 to 2:55 is crafted incredibly well by Keyla...Sofia becomes objectively nuts at this moment, which is distinct from her terrible acting skills, which have already been established. It is therefore my favourite Maria Sofia moment.

[@rahbeat9785]

Reading too much into it but yea

[@jackiesixtysixtyjackie]
