Biography
SEAN LINCOLN
Played by Stephen Mangan
Sean is one half of the golden couple of British comedy. Easy-going and able to roll with the punches, Sean is excited by their American adventure. Even when things get difficult and the frustrating absurdities of Hollywood reveal themselves, Sean continues to enjoy the spoils of "success." He jumps at Matt’s friendly overtures, and revels in Matt’s world of amazing sports cars and private jets to Vegas. This often renders him the peacekeeper between Matt and the more pragmatic Beverly.
