His self-deprecating honesty is hilarious. While I do respect him as an actor, I have a feeling he didn't need to act too much on Silicon Valley.

They've admitted that he gave the writers the most trouble and improv'd ALOT. I believe it. Dude is one of the best improv comedians of all time.

[@kevgar57]

Everybody from Silicone Valley(show) is incredibly underrated. ZW is no exception. Jared was one of the best written and executed characters in a comedy show. The more I think about it, this guy is simply a legend.

d-did...did he just play himself on SV all these years? I see no difference between him and the character, right up to his proud boast of innerwork.

This is many actors. More or less.

not rly, they definitely got him bc that character plays very well 2 his strengths, but him as a comedian has a lot more edge than that character, at least from what i remember, only watched the 1st like 3/4 seasons

ok, I have to say it. I've had a crush on Zach Woods since I saw him on The Office. Back then I was 14 and now I'm 20. It would be sensible to think that by now I should have surpassed him, right? But the feeling remains the same 💘💘

MY dad used to do all those kinds of things too with the space stuff and other themes,,, and you know what, I Love every moment of every thing he did in that way and will never forget it! We've taken family trips and of course I remember those too, but they're blurred and some empty spaces, but the sentiment of him creating an atmosphere at home, will forever be appreciated and I value those far more than any toy or trip imaginable. Really am blessed and lucky to have such an amazing father

Yeah. He is a literal god of improv. I was lucky enough to see him perform live a few times at the world famous upright citizens brigade improv studios in LA. And improv is all about being in the moment and coming up with and building stories and such.
