Veep Trivia

We all assume that successful TV and movie actors and actresses are rich but most are not in the same ball park with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Her father "Gerard Louis-Dreyfus" is a French billionaire!

While Selina Meyer often mentions her boss ... the President, he has never been seen or mentioned by name, at least as of this writing through the second season.

Veep may be a comedy series but series creator Armando Iannucci wanted to make Veep as realisticly funny as possible. He did a huge amount of reading about American history as it pertains to politics in preparation for the show. In order to get the perspective of an American vice-President with aspirations to become President, Armando read "The Years of Lyndon Johnson" by author "Robert A. Caro".

Julia Louis-Dreyfus appeared on three seasons of "Saturday Night Live" from 1982-1985. Her husband, "Brad Hall" appeared on the series for Julia's first two seasons. They are the only husband and wife team to every appear together on the series.
