After Echegui's death, the industry paid tribute while a number of her past colleagues visited her in repose at the funeral home.

This series follows office worked William Ronald 'Ron' Trosper, played by writer and creator Tim, 44, as he gets involved in a far-fetched conspiracy.
After an embarrassing incident happens to him at work, Ron becomes hellbent on taking down a chair manufacturer that he's discovered to be negligent.
Joining leading star Tim in the cast, are The Practice actor Lake Bell, IT Part One's Sophia Lillis, Will Price and Lou Diamond Phillips.
