With Middleditch & Schwartz, Thomas Middleditch is glad that he's being seen as more than his Silicon Valley character

The Daily Beast

“There are lots of people not realizing that I’m playing a character," he tells The Last Laugh podcast, "I’m excited that anyone could be like, ‘Whoa, Richard Hendricks does all these weird characters.’ That’s exciting to me. As an actor if you get one of those roles that feel defining in some way—or pigeonholing or boxing—you’re always eager to show the other aspects of yourself. I feel like these (Middleditch & Schwartz) specials are a more true version of my comedic self than anything else.”
