"Are we having fun yet?" These five simple words haunt depressed former actor Henry Polard while trying as a caterer in the Starz comedy "Party Down". Hollywood is a city full of comics that tries and (more often than not) fails to get his dreams of an Ardwar from the ground, and "the fun down" is a painful sending of how it is at the bottom of the celebrity scale.

Adam Scott Starswells like Henry, who put his acting dreams on ice after the icon he read in a beer ad killed his acting career for good because he joined the catering company for catering, managed by a totally useless Ronald Donald (Ken). The The whole actor is full of some of the funniest people in comedyIncluding Lizzie Kaplan as a sardone comedian, Ryan Hansen as an empty head of beautiful boy, Martin Star as a pretentious science fiction screenwriter, Janeein Lynch as an older actress with bizarre stories about Hollywood's highest day, leaving her 13-year-old.

Similar to her roles of convicted dreamers, "Down Party" never undressed, and the play was Canceled Starrz after his second season. Against all chances, the third season was eventually commissioned by Starz, who returned the team with some new faces who managed to make them Stay faithful to the acid sense of the original Run. But the Down Party almost never existed, because the play was originally put on HBO, which he rejected.

For years, co-creators Paul Rudd and writer Johnon Enbom have been playing around the idea of satinating the life of the fighting actor, and eventually gathered on the field for what will become "fun". They brought the package to HBO, calling producer Rob Thomas "One of the strangest terrain (he) once was in:"

"Carolyn Strauss was the head of (HBO) at the time, and it seemed distracted ... I got in and felt like," I die. I die. " And then she gets a call. She said, 'Okay, i have to use this.' She goes to the phone, and then returns to us and says, "Yes, we buy this." "

Despite its seemingly indifference, the team could now start writing outline, but it quickly became clear that the HBO team had its own idea of what the show should be:

"Our pilot episode was the Association of Home Owners in the Neighborhood Herman Ox, far from the party. And the idea that ... Henry appears and this is the life he would like: he would like a home with a pool and family, and the homeowner wants to be a young actor outside the city, having a time of life.

HBO wanted the show to be more than Hollywood satire, with parties on the parties work, but for writers, humor came from how far from Hollywood these losers were found. HBO will pass the project, and so the team has found some time and money to shoot its own version of the pilot, which has a large part of the same acting roles, which Starz collected as they tried to make their breakthrough in the comedy.

The Starz team was much larger fans of the show than everyone in HBO, and they gave the team two seasons and a third third. The show will continue to change the course of Adam Scott's Career. And hopefully his new Severance fans He will dig it and enjoy this view what life on the underside of Hollywood looks like.
