It can be hard for any actor to stand out on a Mike Judge project, given the sheer amount of talent involved from one end to the next, whether it’s a live-action series like Silicon Valley or an animated comedy like Beavis and Butt-Head, with the creator himself in the starring roles. But I don’t think anyone ever mentioned that to actor Chris Diamantopoulos, who seemingly effortlessly serves as a highlight anytime he pops into a scene. He was, of course, the GOAT of fictional billionaires Ross Hanneman in the aforementioned HBO satire, and reteamed with Judge for Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe and then again for the dim-witted teen slackers’ episodic reboot (which can both be streamed with Paramount+ subscriptions).
Diamantopoulos, who is also currently starring in the mystery sci-fi adventure Mrs. Davis, talked to CinemaBlend about his ever-blooming career, and he had nothing but great things to say about bringing his talents to Mike Judge’s creations, as well as about working with the man himself.
