Fred Melamed on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson
What a treat to sit down and have lively, intelligent (Fred’s parts), thought-provoking conversation with a lovely human. Always a treat to get into it with Fred Melamed.
From his unique take on the Will Smith Oscar fiasco––possibilities I hadn’t considered for judgments I’d made––not about the slap or the foul words––rather the surrounding circumstances––such as the crowd’s inappropriate, cheering, acceptance a short time later, to what the results may be––comparisons to Mel Gibson, Woody Allen, whom Fred’s worked with more times (7) than any actor other than Diane Keaton and Mia Farrow––Fred’s slant is food for thought.
We talked COVID, he’s had it, just as he was about to start a gig he’s passionate about, losing too many friends to the virus, and one, very recently, to suicide. How social media posts can mislead, how his behaviors have altered of late, his recent divorce, a bi-product of the pandemic? How he and his twin sons have coped, autism, getting fit, his memory trick, Bruce Willis’ diagnosis.
With the third season of Barry about to drop, Fred, joining the cast, may be Bill Heder’s most ardent fan, projecting great, important things to come from him as a filmmaker. As if Stefan isn’t achievement enough! How Megan Mullally helped Lorne Michaels discover him. Working with the wonderful Henry Winkler, readying to begin shooting the fourth season of Barry in the coming weeks, and, thrilled to do so.
We talked his upcoming feature, Cat Person, work available now––American Crime Story, WandaVision, Shiva Baby, and went back to teaching a very young Robert Downey Jr at Stagedoor Manor and telling him he was destined for greatness, The Pickup Artist, how A Serious Man came to be, The Coen Brothers, Frances McDormand, Yale Drama.
Reflecting back on it a couple of hours later, I feel sated, as if I’ve just enjoyed a great meal with a provocative conversation, sans the food. Delicious!

About Tonight… I made the dangerous J.R.R. Tolkien-like Journey to Brooklyn from the Bronx to see one of my absolute Comedy Heroes… @mariabamfordcomedy Along the way, I also met amazing Comedienne @joyellenicole. If you haven’t watched “Lady Dynamite” on Netflix, please do. It saved me at one of the lowest points in my life. Also, to whit, Maria Bamford is one of the greatest Comedians ever. I said what I said. #StandUp #Comedy #BellHouse #MariaBamford #LadyDynamite #Netflix #Brooklyn #NYC (at The Bell House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWhrkylLkfG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today, Live! I can’t wait to sit down with actor, comedian, writer, Fred Melamed. When last we did I was unprepared for his brutal humility, fierce self-reflection, and unflinching honesty. A fascinatingly unique conversation focused on how life affected his work, and his work affected his life. I so look forward to catching up on his life and work events and get his take on current events. He may have starred in A Serious Man, but Fred possesses great warmth and humor.
Appearing in more Woody Allen movies (when that was a blessing) than any other actor besides Diane Keaton and Mia Farrow (and Woody himself), Fred’s featured in Hannah and Her Sisters, Radio Days, Another Woman, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Shadows and Fog, Husbands and Wives, and Hollywood Ending. He’s also appeared in Suspect, The Good Mother, The Mission, and The Pickup Artist to name a few.
With hundreds of film and television credits, and literally thousands of commercials and promos on the air as a voice actor, Fred starred in Lady Dynamite, Emmy Award-winning Fargo, Golden Globe Award-nominated Casual, New Girl, and Now We're Talking. He’s had recurring guest-starring roles on Benched, House of Lies, Girls, Children's Hospital, Blunt Talk, Married, and Trial & Error. He played Larry David's smug psychiatrist on Curb Your Enthusiasm, tough-guy jurist Judge Alan Karpman on The Good Wife, and played himself in the CBS situation comedy The Crazy Ones with Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Recently named by New York Magazine's survey of top critics and film professionals as one of The 32 Greatest Character Actors Living Today, Fred is a Yale Drama School graduate, has won both the Independent Spirit and Voice Lifetime Achievement acting awards, and was short-listed for an Oscar for his performance in the before-mentioned, Coen Brothers’ classic, A Serious Man. Fred was named by Harry Domenico Rossi as one of The 25 Greatest Screen Villains of All Time.
Fred currently stars in American Crime Story: Impeachment, upcoming seasons of Barry, WandaVision, and Mysterious Benedict Society. His slate of current and soon-to-be-released films includes breakout hits Shiva Baby, Together Together, Marzipan, and Cat Person.
He’s starred on Broadway, written and produced screenplays, and has taught at Yale University, The University of Minnesota, and New York University. Hmm… Samantha?
We’ve got what to talk about, and I want Fred’s take on Sunday’s Hollywood trauma drama. Fun!
