- Zach Woods, the actor and improviser who plays Jared on Silicon Valley (and formerly played Gabe on The Office), granted a rare and absolutely delightful interview to GQ for its June comedy issue, which I encourage you to read in its entirety. The interviewer is just as charmed by him as I am watching him do improv.
- In the interview, he talks about being uncomfortable doing interviews, the reasons why he's offered the parts that he's offered, and the nature of attraction (but not in a douchey way).
- A notable part of the interview is about why he doesn't have social media, and why he doesn't read about himself on the internet anymore:
He still remembers, verbatim, one of the first online comments he read about himself, before he self-excluded from the Internet: " His face looks like a combination of sadness and food poisoning."
The intrepid interviewer (and possible ONTD lurker) linked to this 2010 The Office post, where I found the following exchange in response to one of Zach's headshots, which was posted by colossusx with the caption "gross":
We did it, kids?! :(

- Please note the ridiculous clash between the nature of the photos + the price of the clothes. There are more pics in the full article, which you can access via the top tweet.
Thanks to famineaffair for recommending the GQ article, and to mecha_danger for pointing out the link to ONTD. No thanks to colossusx.
