Why Julia Davis loves to play the cringe-comedy villains that she creates
Julia Davis shares with Meaww that her characters echo the kind of people she's met in real life, who surprise her either by being pushy or by being selfish.
Julia Davis, not only creates a cringeworthy dark comedy, but she also plays the part in bringing the cringest character on TV alive. As of now, we have Emma, a sociopath, a pathological liar and Sally's girlfriend and forceful fiance in HBO's 'Sally4Ever.' In Davis' recent interview with HBO, the 52-year-old comedian affirmed that she likes playing "these sort of characters." Why? "There’s something so fun about it. In my real life, I worry about what people think of me, what I’m doing, am I doing the right thing? It’s a relief to play someone so selfish and so rude."
