    Nathan Thurm would be the corporate lawyer who represents Dan Akroyd's Irwin Mainway character/company - the guy who offered up "Bag O' Glass" for kids.
    Not exactly the same as Thurm, but almost as reprehensible was the Neil Sussman agent character Short played in the film "The Big Picture". His line "I don't know you. I don't know your work. But I think you are a very very talented young man, and I'm never wrong about these things". was delivered brilliantly. A short role but every bit as memorable as Thurm.

But THIS interview is both of you having a good ol' snl/sctv time. And yes, holyshit, Nathan Thurm is art that became life way too spot on. But good to see Martin is still as caustically adorable as always or maybe more adorably caustic now that he's a grandpa and one of the oldies and gets to be that. I'll not say adorably curmudgeon.
