Louie/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Ability Over Appearance: Louie's ex-wife, Janet is played by African American Susan Kelechi Watson; Louis has even confirmed that he chose the actress not only because it humorously ignores how they have completely Caucasian children, but because he felt her being perfect for the role took priority. Confusing matters further, in a flashback in "Elevator Part 4", she's played by a white actress.
    • Lampshaded in "Pamela Part 3" when the title character asks about the kids; Janet's mother is white. Pamela does not accept the explanation.
  • Actor Allusion: Louie plays a cop in a The Godfather sequel, like he did in Parks and Recreation.
    • Alcoholic, drug addicted, bitter comedian Doug Stanhope guest stars as Eddie Mack, an alcoholic, drug addicted, bitter comedian.
