Ruck's guest-role as a Walgreens executive was one of the best parts of The Dropout. So why not put him on other shows, like Severance? "In every viewing experience there are fine actors upon whom the viewer gazes and feels nothing," says Kelly Conaboy. "Rick Domansky, Jen Purge; these are fake names but the point is that it doesn’t matter, most actors are just there, on screen, pretending to be another person, and as viewers we are grateful for their service but don’t care either way about seeing them ever again. And that’s fine. But then sometimes it’s Alan Ruck on screen. And when it’s Alan Ruck we think … hey … gimme more of that guy!"
