Here’s a brief follow-up on what actor Fred Melamed (stranger 76) has been up to since we got dinner in Beverly Hills in May.
First, he’s one of the actors in the new Hulu series Casual. During our meal at the Palm (accompanied by Fred’s wonderful wife Leslee Spieler Melamed) he talked about the fun he’s having making that show.
Second, the trailer for the Coen Brothers’ new movie Hail, Ceasar! is now out. When Fred and I ate, he told me he had to keep his role a secret. But he said he had a great time filming the movie, which reunites him with the Coen Brothers. They cast him as the “villain” of the piece in the film A Serious Man, a character he talked about during dinner.
