And keep voting for the show at the People’s Choice Awards and for Winter’s Bone at the Gotham Awards site.
Dillahunt is taken with the tone Raising Hope has adopted, claiming that “there’s a reality to it, and the people in it seem utterly believable to me”.
“They’re a little extreme but at their core they’re genuine and honestly touching,” he says.
“I love Martha Plimpton (pictured, above), who plays my wife, and what she’s doing with Virginia is what I hope I’m doing with Burt. She’s certainly sussing out the comedy but she’s also finding and expressing these moments of love and generosity in ways that might seem surprising.
“I don’t think we’re talking down to the audience at all – there’s a lot going on up front but also in the back. It holds up. With most sitcoms I watch, I never feel like I’m seeing a real world. And there’s a place for that – some shows do it really well, and I’ll laugh at them. But in this instance, I find it more rewarding to be a part of something that feels true.” [Jive TV]
