Anton

When a friend of the housemates becomes famous for being groped at work — “I can’t believe that someone we know is a big f— deal already,” is Billie’s jealous reaction — and exploits the situation for personal gain, Anton reminds them that “Kyle sucks. … He orders, like, $20 drinks and never Venmos for them.”

If their circumstances are straitened, dreaming is free; Issa and Anton build an imaginary future for him on the basis of watching a dot move on a GPS map.

In another episode, Anton’s compulsive friendliness gets him mixed up with a psychopathic “stabber,” leading to funny scenes in a police station and a gun shop and some horror-movie excitement.

When Billie winds up in the hospital, Samir, as her medical proxy, convinces himself he is a man of action, while Paul Baker and Anton turn the place into a playground, with the cooperation of charmed nurses.

Asked to confirm whether the man who died was an ambassador, his lawyer Anton Strand said he had no comment.
