, Arian Moayed has joined another high-profile series,, creator Shonda Rhimes’ true-crime drama about Anna Delvey, the convicted fraudster popularly known as the Fake German Heiress.
Moayed, the 41-year-old actor who was also recently seen in and, talks to ET about his scene-stealing performance as Delvey’s no-nonsense lawyer, Todd Spodek, and having to perform his big courtroom scenes in front of his real-life counterpart.Initially hired when Delvey, portrayed here by Julia Garner, was first arrested for not paying for an outstanding hotel bill, Spodek is eventually tasked with defending her against multiple larceny charges related to her attempt to secure a $20 million loan for her elite club, the Anna Delvey Foundation (ADF), as well as sticking one of her friends with a $60,000 bill after failing to pay for their lavish trip to Morocco.
Unlike members of New York society, the city’s high-end hotels and restaurants, or even the bank executives who fall under the guise of this German heiress, her lawyer was not enchanted by any of that. “Todd is the only one in the show who doesn’t give a f**k about the whole backstory of Anna Delvey,” Moayed says, noting that at one point he tells his client, “I’ve worked with a lot of f**king criminals and you are above average at best.” “So, Todd doesn’t really need to kiss her in any way.
He needs to f**king win this thing,” the actor continues.While audiences meet Spodek early on, after he’s deep into preparing for Delvey’s trial, it’s not until the final episode that they get to see him at work in the courtroom, where he’s determined to get his client off by portraying her as someone who never really had a chance at making it to the top.
