She’s played Jerry Seinfeld’s goofy former girlfriend, a neurotic divorcee whose best friend is her ex, and even herself on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” with Larry David. Now, Julia Louis-Dreyfus can add to the list vice president of the United States (and she’s a lot better looking than Joe Biden).
With production slated to begin this fall right here in Charm City, “Veep” will star the 50-year-old onetime Bethesda resident. The HBO sitcom, created by Armando Iannucci, has a 2012 debut.
Louis-Dreyfus will play former Sen. Selina Meyer, who becomes vice president to discover the post is nothing like she thought. The cast also includes Sufe Bradshaw, Anna Chlumsky, and Tony Hale.
“It is a true delight to work with HBO and Armando Iannucci,” says Louis-Dreyfus. “I take the role of vice president very seriously, and although everyone says this is a comedy, I don’t think there is anything funny at all about me being a heartbeat away from the presidency.”
Let’s just hope she doesn’t dance.
