My Take
I'll always associate Thomas Middleditch with Richard Hendricks, the anxious coder he played across all six seasons of HBO's Silicon Valley. What strikes me is how much he committed to that twitchy, stammering nervous energy without ever tipping into pure caricature; it earned him an Emmy nomination for a reason. Knowing he's a Canadian from Nelson, British Columbia, with deep roots in improv comedy, the precision of his timing makes more sense to me. He works as a writer and voice actor too, so I read him less as a one-role guy and more as a comedy craftsman who happened to land a defining part.
