Todd Spodek

Todd Spodek is the defense attorney handed Anna Delvey's case almost as an afterthought, a mid-level lawyer looking for something to prove. He is skeptical of his client's endless contradictions but increasingly fascinated by the puzzle she presents, torn between professional duty and the pull of a story that keeps getting stranger the closer he looks.

Moayed plays him as the audience's proxy without making him dull: his exasperation, curiosity and grudging respect for Anna's audacity all read on his face in real time. The writing uses him as a lens for interrogating who gets believed and why, and Moayed keeps that thematic weight from ever feeling like homework.
