The dossier
The reluctant caterer
Casey Klein is the grounded, realistic heart of the Party Down crew. She is acutely aware of the absurdity of her life, dealing with awful clients and her own stalled career with a mixture of profound exhaustion and sharp, observational wit.
Lizzy Caplan plays Casey with an effortless, undeniable cool. Her slow-burn, highly dysfunctional romance with Henry Pollard is incredibly authentic, capturing the messy reality of two people bonded by mutual failure.
She is the ultimate portrait of Hollywood disillusionment. Casey proves that surviving the entertainment industry requires a massive tolerance for humiliation and a very, very good sense of humor.
