  • Mark Proksch is probably best known for popping up on The Office as dewy-eyed warehouse worker Nate Nickerson, and small-time drug dealer Pryce on Better Call Saul. In honor of What We Do In The Shadows premiering tonight-where he stars as energy vampire Colin-we sat down with the actor for a video version of our interview series Random Roles.

    He invented the character of Colin Robinson just to get us interested in him so he could continue to drain energy from us watching videos of him, genius

      I think that show does not make sense in a segment like this. It’s antithetical to what the show is, there’s a reason most interviews regarding that world are just them joking around, Bc they don’t really acknowledge that world when they aren’t in the characters. It’s just such a niche thing that honestly I’m sure Mark here’s about all the time, I’m sure whatever social media he has is constantly flooded with comments that are references to his on cinema characters, probably to the point he’s not quite as “proud” of it as y’all think he is like yes it’s really good but they clearly are doing it Bc it’s so fun to do and you really don’t get another chance to give performances like that. This is marks chance to talk about his ACTUAL career, and the comments are ALREADY 99% on cinema fans, so I really don’t think he should’ve had to talk about that we all know about that shit, I DIDNT know about him in better call Saul so I’m glad they had that type of shit instead
