Arian Moayed, one of the stars of new comedy-drama You Hurt My Feelings, has wanted to work with writer-director Nicole Holofcener for a long time. The actor, perhaps best known for his role as Stewy in HBO's Succession, has long admired Holofcener's work, following her career for several decades.
"In the '90s, in my teens and early college days, I watched Walking and Talking in a movie theater, and I was madly in love with it," Moayed tells us over Zoom. "There's something about her films that make them very honest and simple. [They use] real human behavior to exploit a micro [issue] into a macro – Nicole is excellent at that."
