REVELLING IN THE MOMENT
BEN FELDMAN, KNOWN FOR ROLES IN MAD MEN AND SILICON VALLEY, HAS SUPERSTORE TO THANK FOR HIS BROAD FAN BASE
With a career as diverse as Ben Feldman’s is, he has a wide variety of fans. The star of the NBC comedy Superstore is often recognised for his work on Mad Men and Silicon Valley, but he also has groups who know him from Cloverield, Friday the 13th and 400 Days.
“I have a really weird crosssection of fans that found themselves in the middle of this Venn diagram,” Feldman says.
Superstore has added to the broad nature of those who know his work. On the surface, the series about eclectic workers at a big box store comes across as a typical network comedy. What Feldman saw when he read the script for the irst show was that there was also a serious side. Superstore has touched on important topics such as divorce, guns, maternity leave, employee rights and corporate politics.
