Following his character's exit from Silicon Valley002 Archives TJ Miller gave a pretty candid, bonkers interview to The Hollywood Reporter,in which he didn't hold back.
Perhaps the biggest eyebrow raise is regarding the comments Miller leveled at his co-star, Thomas Middleditch.
During the interview, he said he said he wanted to step aside, and that Middleditch, who plays Richard Hendriks, "always wanted to be a star. He’s always wanted to be the star of the show."

And I don’t know how the f— I hoodwinked Hollywood into giving me a career in this. But I’m not sitting here saying, 'I need more lines. I’m not funny enough.' I’m not Thomas Middleditch."
Later in the interview, Miller, commenting on reports around his departure, said, I guess some people are like, 'Ah, I guess he’s got too much going on, he’s too big for the show.' What are you talking about?"
Interestingly enough, in a recent interview with The Wrap, Middleditch said of Miller's leaving, “There’s been articles, ‘too big for the show,’ but that’s one way of putting it, that’s for sure.”
Who knows if those Miller's comment was in response to Middleditch. But in a bit of emotional whiplash, Miller also praised his co-star, calling him "one of the funniest people of all" and remarking on their on-screen and off-screen relationships, admitting that the dynamic is pretty similar.
"I think in some ways Thomas Middleditch is … we have a contrarian relationship, like a big brother-little brother relationship. And this is also an opportunity for me to be like, 'Let me just step off, dude. Like, just do your f—ing thing. You’re amazing,'" he said.
Okay.
But the love/hate relationship with Middleditch wasn't the only thing Miller touched on. He also revealed that he didn't care very much of Alec Berg, one of the show's producers.
"I didn’t talk to Alec because I don’t like Alec, but I think Mike Judge and Clay Tarver are brilliant," he said.

"Yeah, nobody likes him. He doesn’t have any friends. His only friend is Jian Yang, and Jian Yang f—ing hates him. I mean, he calls him a “fat loser.” You don’t say that to a friend," he said. "Erlich is just the person nobody wants. ... There’s no reason for him to be there."
Later, as he kept talking (and talking), Miller once again threw the show's writers under the bus as he detailed how he wasn't exactly thrilled about the rut the show was in:
"But I just thought that what the show has suffered from, what’s bad about it, is that Richard is the CEO and then he isn’t but then he finds his way back to be CEO, and then once he finds his way back to being the CEO he says he doesn’t want to be the CEO, and it’s just the same thing over and over. … So I thought it would be really interesting [to leave]."
As if things couldn't even get stranger, Miller ended the interview in a pretty dark manner, saying his career is on the downslope.
"This is all a downward spiral, career-wise," he joked.
For what it's worth, The Emoji Movie, in which Miller voices the main character, opens July 28.
