The Office's Andy Buckley: On Comedy w/ Conscience

<p>Andy Buckley is David Wallace. You know him. You love him. But before he was Steve Carell&#39;s perfectly straight-faced boss at Dunder Mifflin, he spent years as a Merrill Lynch wealth manager — which explains why his corporate deadpan hits so painfully right. He&#39;s also one of the most thoughtful and openly supportive non-Jewish allies the community has had since October 7th.</p><p><br></p><p>Andy talks about the moment that gave him permission to speak up, the dinner-table education that came with marrying into a Jewish family, and why he thinks the loudest voices in Hollywood are often the least informed. Plus: the lost art of being a straight man, his audition origin story, and the surprising flight he took next to Ana Kasparian&#39;s husband.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Andy Buckley on Instagram @AndyBuckley2020</p><p><br></p><p>Support our work: buymeacoffee.com/peoplejewwannaknow</p><p><br></p><p>What We Discuss:</p><p>00:00 Intro &amp; Episode Agenda</p><p>03:00 From Stanford to Wall Street to David Wallace</p><p>09:30 The Underrated Power of the Straight Man</p><p>14:00 Trusting Your Voice as an Artist</p><p>18:30 Visiting Auschwitz, Marrying Into a Jewish Family, and Learning Slowly</p><p>22:00 What Amar&#39;e Stoudemire&#39;s Post Unlocked</p><p>27:00 Why Hollywood Stays Quiet</p><p>32:00 Sitting Next to Ana Kasparian&#39;s Husband on a Plane</p><p>37:00 What Andy Wants from Hollywood (and What Margarita Doesn&#39;t)</p><p>39:00 Closing Remarks </p>
