Character Actor
Jeffley Tambor retains role of eccentric Jewish
patriarch as critical acclaim rescues Fox comedy
`Arrested Development."
CURT SCHLEIER
Special to the Jewish News
8:30 p.m. following The Simpsons.
In Arrested Development, Tambor
plays George Bluth Sr., the patriarch
of a dysfunctional and once wealthy
family. Iri the first episode, George
Sr. is convicted of securities fraud
and sent to prison. Subsequently,
Ivan Boesky-like, he rediscovers
Judaism in the slammer, and even
produces self-help tapes there to
help 'others find the way.
"I love this role. I'm very proud of
it. It's such a brilliant construct and
design by Mitch Hurwitz [who cre-
was beyond green. I was very
new at the game. I had never
had the lead in a series. I was
never. No. 1 on the call sheet. And I
really enjoyed doing it. The learning
curve was high and fast."
That's actor Jeffrey Tambor talking
about his critically acclaimed TV
series, the one that no one watched.
No, not Arrested Development, which
is currently running in reruns
Sunday nights on Fox. That,
too, is a critically acclaimed
series whose ratings resem-
ble the water table in the
Sahara on a dry day.
But at the moment, the
subject is Mr. Sunshine, his
mid-1980s "miniseries" (in
the worst sense of the word;
it lasted just 11 episodes)
about a blind man.
"I don't remember much
about that, except that it
was a miracle — a bald,
blind man with a beard on
Friday nights against Dallas.
It was an anomaly and a _
paradox." It was also very
funny.
Tambor is philosophical
about the experience. "I
come from the theater, so
I'm used to Broadway clos-
ing notices," he says. "I was
dismayed, but I knew it
wasn't going to last against
Dallas."
He's more optimistic,
however, about Arrested
Development. "I remain pos-
itive. I think it's that good. I
love this show. I absolutely
adore it."
It turns out his optimism
is well placed. Despite sur-
prisingly low ratings, Fox
announced the series has
WSU grad Jeffrey Tambor as George Bluth Sr.
been renewed for the fall,
in 'Arrested Development": Rediscovering Judaism
where it will air Sundays at
behind bars.
