I'm with you on this one. Peter Austin is nothing like Bloom or Unger -- he's the grown-up in the room -- The Golden Egg is his child -- he's crushed by every word of every bad review he hears. I think Broderick takes the right approach by underplaying the role and he's pretty deft at it -- it would be out of character for him to go for big laughs. I found the show hilarious from beginning to end with the characters of James Wicker, Virginia Noyes, and Gus nailing the laughs -- Austin is the foil IMO.
