The new offices are lovely, there's a private chef on hand to prepare gluten free surprise waffles, and there's enough fancy coconut water on hand that Erlich can abscond with a stack of boxes and no one will bat an eye. "Two in the Box" finally finds Pied Piper moving out of Erlich Bachman's house and into proper space and Barker delivers the goods. Powered by tried and true methods that don't sit well with Richard, who has had to watch as his grip on the company he founded continue to slip away. We first met Tobolowsky's "Action" Jack Barker in last week's season premiere, but he truly comes into his own during the events of "Two in the Box." The initial portrait of Jack, that he's a square-shooter who knows his way around the tech industry and truly wants Pied Piper to succeed, is not inaccurate. And you don't rack up credits like that unless you've been consistently great at your job.
That's the power you wield when you have 244 film and television credits to your name.
Even viewers who may not know his name know that they like him. It's only natural that the series would eventually get around to casting Stephen Tobolowsky, the king of the modern character actor, the ultimate "that guy," the kind of performer that you've seen in a hundred different things. Mike Judge, Alec Berg, and the rest of their collaborators have pulled off an exquisite trick-the comedy is the star of Silicon Valley, so they can populate the show with whoever the hell they want. Miller, Zach Woods, Martin Starr, and Kumail Nanjiani have found themselves thrust into a spotlight usually reserved for bigger stars. With no huge names in the main cast, familiar faces with often unrecognizable names have been given a chance to shine and very funny actors like Thomas Middleditch, T.J. Since its first season, Silicon Valley has been a character actor's paradise.
