Emmy-winning actor Tony Hale is no stranger to emotional tension on screen, whether it’s the awkward neuroses of Buster Bluth in “Arrested Development” or the anxious Gary Walsh in “Veep.”

But in “Sketch,” his newest film, Hale, the father of a 19-year-old daughter, trades comedy for something more somber, playing a father struggling to hold his family together after the death of his wife. It's a role, he said, that is rooted in his own experience of parenting, pain and faith.

“As a person of faith … [I believe that] ‘nothing grows on the mountaintop, but everything grows in the valley,’” the 54-year-old actor told The Christian Post. “It’s the hard times where you're refined and go through stuff, and it's not easy, but that tends to be where the growth is.”
