His star rose playing menacing men in 'Get Out' and 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Now, Bradley Whitford has his first solo lead in the NBC sitcom 'Perfect Harmony.'

“Mr. Robot,” “Creepshow,” “The Crown” and the rest of the 20 new and returning TV shows — on 20 different networks — we’re looking forward to seeing.Bradley Whitford as former music professor Arthur Cochran in NBC's new sitcom 'Perfect Harmony.'That momentum, after a résumé full of supporting and featured roles, has finally led Whitford to his first solo lead, starring in NBC’s new comedy “Perfect Harmony.

He makes a joke about his recent gallery of dark characters: “My wheelhouse seems to be playing creepy white privilege.” But the challenge of taking on figures whose political philosophies are diametrically opposed to his own liberal views — and the success he’s had doing so — has given him the confidence to take more risks as a performer.And if professional accolades weren’t enough, he got married just a few months ago to Amy Landecker, who also appears in “The Handmaid’s Tale.

While the series is worlds away from the gloom and doom of “Get Out” and “The Handmaid’s Tale,” there’s still a hint of darkness and bitterness in Cochran. The concept is a showcase for Whitford’s slow-burn, dryly comic delivery.
