I don’t even need to look behind me to know he’s entered the room. People in the restaurant perk up. When I do turn around, I realise it’s because he’s waving to them, blowing kisses at random patrons.

Standing an impressive five-foot-nine, he somehow seems larger, more commanding.
“Sorry I’m late,” he says. “I was just driving back from canvassing in a congressional swing district up north.” Wow. How Downs finds time to volunteer is hard to imagine. At the time of this interview, he had just wrapped shooting in New York on the critically acclaimed Broad City’s fifth and final season, launching in January. Not only is he one of the show’s main writers, an executive producer and a beloved cast member (he plays Trey Pucker), this season Downs is adding “director” to his repertoire.
