00:00Like, literally, like, kind of looking over my shoulder,

00:03uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh, oh, yeah, right?

00:04Yeah, I'm totally thinking about myself.

00:05And I'm thinking, like, not only are they not listening,

00:07this person's lying to me, right?

00:10In the middle of a scene.

00:11Or is she?

00:12Linda, I just have to say, we in the queer community love you.

00:15Oh, thank you.

00:16For a lot of people, you are the gay awakening.

00:18I don't know how often you hear that.

00:21But thank you for all that you've done.

00:23My pleasure.

00:24And continue to do.

00:25I love this show, and I feel like people are really

00:27going to enjoy it for how much it brings representation,

00:29really, and diverse stories.

00:31So was that a big, like, point for you?

00:33Yes, and I, of course.

00:35And also, I mean, it all comes from Liz and what she writes.

00:38And she writes these beautifully rich characters

00:42who are just so much fun to play.

00:45And I think people connect with them.

00:47And it shows sort of things that maybe people aren't always

00:50talking about or people aren't always seeing on screen.

00:53And I think that's what's so beautiful about what she does

00:55and what she has to say.

00:57And just her own specific brand of humor

01:00infused into all of it, I think, is, I don't know,

01:03when she told me she was going to write something for me,

01:06I thought, how lucky can I be?

01:08Yeah, absolutely.

01:10And I have to ask, have you two worked together

01:12since Legally Blonde?

01:14We have not.

01:15No, this is the first.

01:16And I mean, even then, like, on Legally Blonde,

01:18we didn't really get to do scenes together.

01:19Right, just staring each other down.

01:21And certainly not scenes like we got to do on this.

01:24But we got a long way back then.

01:26But I think, you know, I was certainly really excited

01:29to get the chance to, you know, because I'm a fan of Linda's

01:32and, you know, seeing different stuff she's been in.

01:34So it was really exciting, the chance to get to work

01:37with her in person.

01:39Yeah, absolutely.

01:40And you guys have such fun chemistry.

01:42You get to do so many scenes that just, you know,

01:45have a lot of, I don't know, I don't want to spoil it.

01:49Everything's a spoiler.

01:50That's the hard part about it.

01:51Right, that's really it.

01:52Everything is a spoiler.

01:53They say that as an actor, the number one thing

01:56you're supposed to do is listen.

01:57So I would be doing these scenes with Linda as Margo.

02:01I'm like, this person's not listening to me.

02:03Margo's bad listener.

02:04Like, literally, like, kind of looking over my shoulder.

02:06Uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh, yeah, right?

02:08Yeah, I'm only thinking about myself.

02:09And I'm thinking, like, not only are they not listening,

02:11this person's lying to me.

02:13Right?

02:13In the middle of a scene.

02:14Or is she?

02:15You just break character.

02:16You just, like, cut it out.

02:18Like, you know, stop it right now.

02:19You're sitting in the curb, you're like, oh my god,

02:22I can see how you totally manipulated me.

02:24And I just thought it was so funny,

02:25because I was half in and half out of character.

02:28Oh my gosh.

02:29Is there, I mean, that is obviously

02:31a really fun day on set.

02:32Is there any other, like, really memorable times

02:34that you could tell us?

02:36I think we both had fun in this, I think it's episode five,

02:40where we got, our characters got to interact with Ray Romano

02:44and Lisa Kudrow, where we run into them,

02:47it's supposed to be by chance, but we've planned it,

02:50you know, in Griffith Park.

02:51And then later we all kind of wind up back at the house,

02:54and I wind up, you know, at the piano with Lisa Kudrow,

02:59and she winds up in the hot tub with Ray Romano.

03:02So there are these two very odd scenes going on,

03:06but I think that we both, I mean,

03:08I certainly just appreciated the fact that, you know,

03:11you work with somebody like Ray Romano and Lisa,

03:13and you think like, okay, I can see why

03:15the whole country loves them.

03:17And they're also so, you know, well thought of

03:19in the business, because they're, you know,

03:21they're humble, they're creative, they're hardworking,

03:25and also just really, really funny in scenes.

03:29You know, Ray, you see him playing like the contractor,

03:33you really bought it, him being like a Queens guy.

03:37So I really had fun talking to Ray about like his real life,

03:41and then Lisa was just so great, like, you know,

03:44she would be talking about being a parent, and yeah.

03:47Yeah, they're awesome people and just comedy giants.

03:51So it's just, and they make such a great on-screen couple too,

03:56which I think I didn't know I needed that.

03:58And then when I saw them together, I was like,

04:00oh my God, this is extraordinary.

04:02Yeah, you think of them as kind of not the same

04:05or not the first people you'd pick as a couple.

04:07You'd see in the table reads where all of a sudden

04:10they're like, this is like, I feel like I'm watching a movie.

04:13Like this is a real couple with history.

04:15Yeah, with history.

04:16Just in the way they almost kind of subtly like ignore each other.

04:20You could feel the tension, not with them personally,

04:23but as their characters.

04:24Of course, yes.

04:25I feel like everyone that shares the screen

04:28has such an amazing dynamic that it just truly loops you in.

04:33And just to close really fast, I have to ask,

04:35who do you think would solve this mystery better,

04:38Emmett from your character or Velma?

04:41Velma.

04:42Do you think they'd make a good team?

04:44Oh, I think Emmett.

04:45I think Emmett and Velma would be hilarious.

04:47That's a hilarious team.

04:49That's a way to go.

04:50I would say Velma too.

04:52I can't remember much about Emmett.

04:56I think he might have gone to Harvard, but still.

04:58He works well with strong women.

05:00He does, you're right.

05:01They might be a great team.

05:03Definitely needs a strong woman.

05:04Emmett's the wind beneath Velma's wings.

05:06Yes, that's the quote.

05:08Thank you all so much.
