Like the characters of Party Down — actors, comedians and writers catering their way toward impossible dreams — Rob Thomas’ premium cable comedy, now in its sophomore season, can never quite catch a break. Although the show is beloved by its fans, the Starz sleeper has been leaking cast members ever since Jane Lynch departed the premium cabler for Glee . Since then, Adam Scott signed onto Parks and Recreation , Lizzy Caplan filmed a pilot for CBS , and Ryan Hansen shot a pilot for NBC, which was officially picked up this week. And even though Party Down ‘s ratings more than doubled this season, the show is still watched by less than 300,000 people. In hopes that tonight’s episode, “Steve Guttenberg’s Birthday,” could be the installment that reverses Party Down ‘s fortune, Martin Starr phoned Movieline to discuss just how the Cocoon actor was cast, Party Down ‘s tragic undertone and how little Starr actually relates to his character.
