Why Justine From Things Heard & Seen Looks So Familiar

Along with her Better Call Saul co-star Michael McKean, Rhea Seehorn joined the cast of Veep for the show's seventh and final season in 2019. This was actually Seehorn's second time working with Veep creator Armando Iannucci, who cast her in the 2007 American remake of his BBC political satire series, The Thick of It. That show didn't get picked up, but their second venture went much better. Seehorn played Michelle, the deputy campaign manager of Selina Meyer's (Julia-Louis Dreyfuss) political nemesis, Tom James. (Hugh Laurie). Seehorn described the character as a "sheepish, needy person, who cannot even formulate a clear plan of moving ahead in her career," via Indie Wire.

Jumping into any well-established sitcom midstream is a difficult job for any actor, but Seehorn performed ably. She even got the honor of appearing in the series' final scene. It was an emotional moment, but not a perfect one. "Of course, I completely fumbled my line," she told Collider. "I had one tiny line and I made a mess of it and they had to cut and start over and I will be forever thankful that I was in it, but I'm glad they didn't fire me."
