Hollywood in Maryland: O'Malley Appears with the 'Veep'

The Emmy-winning HBO comedy VEEP is likely Gov. Martin O'Malley's favorite TV show, considering it brings good publicity and jobs to the state. 

O'Malley posed for photos with the cast of the show and published one on Twitter Monday. News organizations published photos as well.

The show stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, best known for her role as Towson native Elaine Benes on Seinfeld, as the vice president of the United States, Selina Meyer. 

The show is about a U.S. senator who accepts the position of vice president, but finds out it's not all it's cracked up to be as she raises sarcasm and snark to an art form. 

The show filmed its pilot in Maryland in early 2011 and has returned to continue filming the series.

The Maryland Film Office originally anticipated the shooting of the series to have an economic impact of more than $25 million and to create more than 2,000 jobs.
