Emmys Fresh Faces: 25 First-Time Nominees24 of 26
Martin Mull, "Veep"
(Nominated, Guest Actor in a Comedy Series)
"Martin Mull is someone I have admired forever," says "Veep" showrunner David Mandel. "You can’t be a comedy writer and not admire Martin Mull." The "wonderful and hateful" character he plays, Bob Bradley, was only supposed to be in an episode or two, but, says Mandel, "the stuff that spouts out of his mouth became so enjoyable that he stuck around for like four more episodes just because we fell in love with it."
Mull starred as Colonel Mustard in the cult comedy Clue. His career dates back to the '70s with roles on "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," "Fernwood Tonight," and "Roseanne."
