TV Academy Voters, Take Note! Kaitlin Olson of ‘Hacks’ Is a Mixed Bag of Funny and Ferocious
As the daughter of Jean Smart’s Deborah Vance on ‘Hacks,’ Kaitlin Olson is a regular chip off the ol’ damaged, humorously sarcastic, cynical block.
It takes a very special acting skill to match Jean Smart’s snarkiness as Deborah Vance on “ Hacks ” — and Kaitlin Olson is just that kind of talent. It’s not like she hasn’t previously flaunted her power to ride that fine line between playing real, escalating emotion and shamelessly stealing scenes. She reads each joke, each building with more confidence than the previous and each ending with the phrase, “What a cunt!” Amazingly, Olson delivers those three little words four times, each utterance different than the last.
