Julia Louis-Dreyfus lands lead role in HBO comedy
Louis-Dreyfus has signed on to star in and produce Veep, an HBO comedy pilot written by Simon Blackwell and Armando Iannucci. Julia will play Vice President and former Senator Selina Meyer who discovers that being the V.P. is, “nothing like she expected and everything everyone ever warned about.”
Bonus: Check out a clip from Iannucci’s short run but wildly popular British show for a taste of what to expect when Veep hits the airwaves.
