\n Blake Anderson is moving from a \u201cWorkaholic\u201d to being \u201cWoke.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson, who created\/starred in the long-running \u201cWorkaholics\u201d on Comedy Central, has a lead role in Hulu\u2019s \u201cWoke.\u201d He plays Gunther, the stoner roommate of Keef Knight (Lamorne Morris, \u201cNew Girl\u201d), a cartoonist who prides himself on keeping his work \u201clight\u201d \u2014 exasperated by the notion that artists are expected to provide social<\/a> commentary in their work.<\/p>\n

After an incident in which he\u2019s racially profiled by the police, Keef becomes more attuned to racial injustice in the world \u2014 and develops the ability to hear inanimate objects around him talk about the problem.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The script<\/a>] was something that I read probably almost two years ago [but] it\u2019s kind of crazy that the show is so relevant right now,\u201d says Anderson, 36. \u201cI thought it was a cool way to take on some of these subjects, because it does have this whole element of puppetry and the fantasy aspect of being in Keef\u2019s mind and seeing things come to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the show has a comedic tone,\u201d he says. \u201cSometimes the best way to get a point across is to package it with laughs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson, a lifelong Californian, got his start in improv comedy troupes including The Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade. He rose to prominence on \u201cWorkaholics\u201d (2011-2017), which followed three college dropouts and housemates employed by a telemarketing company. He\u2019s also appeared in shows such as \u201cArrested Development,\u201d \u201cBrooklyn Nine-Nine\u201d and \u201cMixed-ish.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[Acting only] was something that was fairly new to me. I\u2019m used to being kind of hands-on in all aspects of the shows that I\u2019ve done in the past,\u201d he says. \u201cFor [\u2018Woke\u2019], they were very open to allowing us to improvise. I do the majority of my scenes with Lamorne and [co-star] T. Murph, because we\u2019re best-friend roommates. And it helps to build that authentic friendship feel. So it was really cool to be able to have that freedom on the set.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Keef struggles to adapt his career as a cartoonist in the wake of his new mindset, Gunther and their other roommate Clovis (Murph) alternately support him and engage in their own wacky schemes \u2014 including trying to sell \u201cenergy powder\u201d that Gunther swears is not cocaine.<\/p>\n

\u201cGunther is not too far of a departure from what I usually play,\u201d says Anderson. \u201cIt\u2019s to be expected; I\u2019m a long-haired, laid-back dude, so I kind of get cast as stoner types. Fair enough. I didn\u2019t have to reach too far into my bag of tricks to find who this character was, but that\u2019s also why I was cast and why it felt so good to improvise this character.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really felt like I could tap into him, because we aren\u2019t too different, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

The distinctive coif that Anderson mentions has remained a signature part of his aesthetic through his career, and he says he\u2019s never been asked to change it for a role.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only real pressure I get is just the weather in California. Having this mop on my head can be daunting,\u201d he says. \u201cYou definitely get those days where you\u2019re just ready to shave it. But other than that, I haven\u2019t had Steven Spielberg knocking on my door telling me I can be in a war movie. I haven\u2019t had \u2018Star Wars\u2019 call and say, \u2018We need you to shave your head to be a Jedi.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to \u201cWoke,\u201d Anderson also writes for and lends his voice to the animated Adult Swim series<\/a> \u201cTigtones\u201d (returning for its second season Sept. 13) \u2014 and he\u2019s launching a podcast with his former \u201cWorkaholics\u201d co-stars Adam Devine and Anders Holm called \u201cThis is Important.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m having this strange renaissance during this month,\u201d he says. \u201cI feel almost kind of bad \u2014 but I\u2019m excited to give people stuff to watch.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
