Laszlo
Matt Berry
Matt Berry roared the basement as Laszlo on What We Do in the Shadows — mockumentary vampires as roommates, running gag as blood sport, Staten Island immortality as peak ensemble comedy of the cable-streaming hybrid years. Improv-adjacent timing that never winks itself to death. TV Flash files him as 2020s farce thunder: the husband who makes the night look married and filthy.
Matt Berry plays Laszlo on What We Do in the Shadows, the roaring husband in a Staten Island mockumentary where Nandor, Nadja, and poor Guillermo turn immortality into roommate sport. Running gag as blood sport, improv-adjacent timing that never winks itself to death. Berry is the bass line — a voice that makes a cape show sound like a dirty song, a vampire who treats the night as a marriage and a hobby. Peak ensemble comedy of the cable-streaming hybrid years.
What We Do in the Shadows sits on FX from 2019–2024. Matt Berry as Laszlo is the reason a catalog pass does not feel empty. s01e01 is the door the brief already marked.

Berry on What We Do in the Shadows remains catalog craft on FX from 2019–2024.
Berry does the close-up work ensemble television lives on. Laszlo is that face. s06e11 is where the performance still argues.

Resurrection as season-two launch: the dead joking their way back, still Staten Island, still the documentary crew as the fifth roommate. Laszlo stays expensive in the cut.
Horror-sitcom as a duet. Laszlo photographs as the cad and plays as the series’ id with a cravat. On TV Flash Berry is 2020s catalog thunder: the Laszlo who made a vampire house feel like a sex comedy with fangs, then left the documentary crew looking like it had caught a marriage instead of a myth.
