My Take
Matt Walsh is the kind of comedic actor I appreciate precisely because most people know his face better than his name. His turn as Mike McLintock in Veep earned two Primetime Emmy nominations, and that show's brutal, fast-paced improv style makes sense once you learn he co-founded the Upright Citizens Brigade. To me that improv pedigree is the real story here, since he helped build an institution that trained a generation of comedians. There's something I find genuinely impressive about an actor from Chicago who chose the unglamorous craft of supporting roles and group work over chasing the spotlight, and consistently delivered.
