Even by the standards of a TV show that’s seen high-profile cameos from the likes of Justin Bieber, Rick Ross and Doja Cat, the Season 3 finale of FX’s hip-hop comedy “Dave” delivers a wallop. [Warning: Spoilers ahead.]
To portray his on-screen hype man, Dave “Lil Dicky” Burd turned to his real-life hype man: Davionte “GaTa” Ganter.He’s not on social media — you can’t get to him through DM. I’d heard that Brad liked the show, and I ended up getting his email. Obviously, I took a big risk writing an entire episode — a finale of a season — where he’s like the main character. People in our writers room were like, “Man, seems a little reckless to put all your eggs in this Brad Pitt basket.” But I believed.
As he lies on the floor with an arrow through his heart, Pitt’s character says his real name is Luke, which isn’t true in real life. Where did that come from?I love that gag. It was a late addition. There’s a lot of wheeling and dealing going on in the show as far as rewriting and tweaking things on the spot. But I remember I was like, “I wish this death scene with Brad had one more big laugh in it.” And credit to Brad — he was so game in every phase of the way.
In a very dark way, the fan — who we see working as a production assistant on Dave’s “Mr. McAdams” video — is striving just like Dave and GaTa always are.I definitely wouldn’t pull a gun and take it to that level. But I wanted people to empathize with this character — like, “I could see if Dave wasn’t a famous rapper and he’d gotten time with Brad Pitt that he might have put a song on Brad Pitt’s computer.
