On “Dave,” a show co-created by and starring Dave Burd that dramatizes his exploits as terminally navel-gazing hip-hop star Lil Dicky, there can be little room to explore the lives of others in his…
Not only has GaTa become the sounding board and best friend that everyone wishes they had , he has offered an intimate window into his own mental health struggles, reenacting them on screen with devastating vulnerability.
Early on in “Dave,” GaTa reveals that he suffers from bipolar disorder, charting the history of his severe mood swings through flashbacks from the time before he became part of Lil Dicky’s crew. Particularly for a Black man trying to gain a foothold in a professional community that frequently prizes confidence and machismo, simply being willing to tell the story at all felt like a risk, but GaTa lends his journey a hard-won poignancy — and a power in sharing it with the people closest to him.
In Season 3, GaTa further chronicles his journey in episodes like “Hearsay,” where he is forced to confront a lifelong friend who takes advantage of his newfound fame, and “The Storm,” where his womanizing on tour leads to a fight between two groupies — and eventually a revelation about what drives his struggle to manage healthy romantic relationships.
Yet GaTa’s performance on the show isn’t simple recreation, even if its verisimilitude lends these scenes an undeniable authenticity: “People know that we pull from real pieces of our lives, but at the same time, it’s still acting. I like the fact that we get to put real moments in there, [but] we know what’s true and we know what’s not true.”
