potatoholic: huffpostcomedy: Funny man David Cross has played a lot of memorable roles in his career, from various characters on Mr. Show, the ’90s cult sketch show he created with Bob Odenkirk, to Tobias Funke, the effeminate never-nude on the near-universally beloved Arrested Development. And while he’s currently starring in the third installment of the Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise (unfortunately titled Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked), he’s more excited about the upcoming second season of his show The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, which begins this week on IFC. Cross plays the titular character, an American sales rep who transfers across the pond to lead the sale of a energy drink called Thunder Muscle to unassuming British consumers. The very straightforward title does not disappoint: Todd Margaret, seemingly unaware of the intricacies of British culture (as well as the basic concept of selling a marketable product), finds himself mixed up in a variety of mishaps and shenanigans. Rounding out a hilarious ensemble cast are fellow Americans Will Arnett and Spike Jonze, with Jon Hamm joining in for the second season. We sat down with Cross to discuss the benefits of working on a British TV show (and managed to not ask about the upcoming Arrested Development movie). David Cross on The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret [via bbook] This show sounds amazing. Guess it’s going on the DVR … It does!! I’ve never seen Jon Hamm in anything besides SNL, but he’s hilarious there. David Cross looks weirdly like Colin Firth in this pic, too.
