God, I love David Zahn. He stole the show in "Treme", the most underrated show ever. David Simon, duh. New Orleans immersion in the culture and music. Duh, fucking watch "Treme" from beginning to end, folks, and let me know what you think. ❤ I didn't even realize that was he in "White Lotus" so locked was I in to his Treme role.

I first remember seeing Steve Zahn as Phoebe’s husband in Friends, and I’ve been a fan ever since.

We have always looked forward to seeing Steve Zahn in everything, anything, always. He makes every movie better, because of his presence.

Steve Zahn was really funny on MONK, as Adrian's other brother, Jack Jr., whom Adrian didn't know, until he showed up. 😅

My hot take is that he's the protagonist of Sahara. Trashy movie and McCoughney was just phoning it in, but Zahn is just bringing it in every scene.

He's a very good character actor.

Big Fan always liked him but "Happy, Texas" was the one that made me realize he is Truly talented. SO nailed it on "Modern Family". Bless You and Yours.

10:15 this about Christian Bale kinda hits different hearing about him being so funny on set, always screwing around, when you remember or go back and listen to that recording of him flipping out on set trying to get people fired for being unprofessional.

Always been a fan of his, glad to see him, should do more interviews.

Love Zahn, first saw him in Linklater's SubUrbia. Watch it if you haven't, great cast, very 90s feel, amazing soundtrack.
In the limo!!!
