David Pasquesi

David Pasquesi is an actor who makes an impression even if you don’t know his name. He brightens The Book of Boba Fett as the sly, untrustworthy Majordomo. He’s the smiling, conniving Veep ex-husband Andrew Meyer. He’s the ever-searching alchemist Blaise St. John on the cult-fave series Lodge 49. You also may have caught him on She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (another cheerful scoundrel), At Home with Amy Sedaris (Knife Man Tony!) and in movies including Groundhog Day. For more than 20 years, he has performed the wholly improvised TJ and Dave show with fellow Second City alumnus T.J. Jagodowski. How does Pasquesi balance acting and improv? Why does he play so many shifty characters? Will he attend Star Wars conventions now? Pasquesi is quick-witted and revealing in this Caropop conversation, recorded live at the club Space in Evanston. Don't miss actor Michael Shannon's question at the end.
