There are some actors who, whenever they show up on screen, you think: OK, now we’re cooking. That would apply to Michaela Watkins, who has been a reliable comedic presence on everything from “Saturday Night Live” to her roles in “Enlightened,” “Trophy Wife,” “New Girl,” “Casual,” “Search Party,” “The Unicorn” and more.
She currently co-stars in the Hulu series “Tiny Beautiful Things” with Kathryn Hahn and the film “Paint” with Owen Wilson. After that, it’s director Nicole Holofcener’s “You Hurt My Feelings,” which comes out next month. “It’s funny,” said Watkins, “it’s like everything I did over the last few years is coming out of the gate at the same time. But that’s pretty much acting; when it rains, it pours.”
When it comes to a worst career moment, Watkins has a doozy.
