Arian Moayed on 'Inventing Anna,' Meeting Todd Spodek and Those Courtroom Scenes (Exclusive)

, 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.
