S01.E02: Pizza Boy

[Drogo]

A pizza delivery boy gets caught up in a couple's twisted games.

This was hard to watch because I can't freaking stand James van der Beek.

Well, that was disappointing. The twist st the end redeemed it a bit for me, but it just went on and on and on... Huge step down from the premiere, but I guess that's the nature of anthologies.

It freaked me out how much the pizza delivery guy reminded me of Alex from Modern Family.  They could be siblings.

[LittleIggy]

That was just silly. I couldn't figure out why the pizza guy didn't go to wait in the car when the husband went out to get cash. The ending explained that, but it was still silly.

That pizza boy looks so familiar. Where haveI seen him before?

[bilgistic]

Off the top of my head, he was in "Hot Tub Time Machine". I think he was on "The Office" (U.S.), though I could be making that up. He's a character actor that works very steadily.

[LittleIggy]

Not from "The Office."

is this the same actor who is on "i'm dying up here" and is that the same actor who was on the office in the last season, i believe, he was a dwight look alike?  my dvr info of cast did not include many names so i don't know his name. 

i hated this episode and fast forwarded it. i just know the guy was looking for money while the pizza delivery person was watching the woman. what was the gist of the whole epidose? i hope this show gets better, so far i don't like it.

Yup: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_Duke

I didn't like this one too much either. Maybe it would have better if couple was played by better actors then VdB and whomever the actress was playing his wife. Will still see this series through, though.

Imdb.com is your new best friend. 

Definitely not as strong as the first episode but it had some redeeming moments. Was cracking up at The Beak's line about "fucking, sucking and ... something-something trucking"

Long distance trucking.

ah yes that was it.  I don't know what it is about that line that tickles me.  It just does!

He had a bit part in the last season of The Office, where a running gag was that he looked like Dwight while his contemporary looked like Jim, aka New Dwight and New Jim.

I feel like he's Eric Roberts in the sense that he's playing a lot of slimy characters, which he tends to excel at.

I thought I couldn't stand James Van Der Beek, but it turns out I just couldn't stand Dawson Leery. 

JVDB shone brightly in this one.
