00:00How much fun was it during the show?

00:02It was too much fun. It was a ridiculous amount of fun.

00:05Every day we would say, we would just take a minute to kind of take it in

00:09and be like, guys, how fortunate are we, how lucky are we that we're together,

00:13that we are having such a good time, that we're working on a show that is smart and fun.

00:18It's just a joy.

00:20What was your worst injury, though, from doing one of the action songs?

00:24Maybe on like a pulled hamstring.

00:26That hurts!

00:27Tight quadriceps, you know, you got to roll it out on the foam roller.

00:31Yeah, nothing too bad.

00:33What kind of prep did they put you through to get ready for the action?

00:37In shape, I had to fall in love with the gym.

00:41You know, I got to make friends with the treadmill.

00:43You have to make peace with it.

00:45But I just try to keep myself active.

00:47That's a really important part to playing a character like this,

00:50being able to do a few pull-ups.

00:52So I can do a few...

00:53How many could you do?

00:55Like four or five.

00:56Okay.

00:57It was pretty good.

00:58It was pretty good.

00:59I was proud of that.

01:00I was proud of that.

01:01I love a countdown workout.

01:02It got me ready.

01:03It got me ready to go, yeah.

01:05Talk about working with Aradine.

01:07This is an icon in the TV industry.

01:09What was it like your first day on set with him?

01:11I was terrified.

01:12I was...

01:13He has this power about him.

01:16He's got this quiet confidence, and it's so beautiful on camera.

01:21And I was properly petrified.

01:23And then, you know, five minutes in, I saw his warmth.

01:27I saw his playfulness, his charisma.

01:29And it just became like so comfortable and so at ease.

01:33And we're just such a work family.

01:34It's so beautiful.

01:36It's like watching him face his diagnosis, being honest about it, letting people know.

01:41We just love and support him so much and are so proud of him.

01:44We're so proud of him.
