00:00Your character Saz is at the center of the crime this season.

00:03What can you tease about how her role has expanded in season four?

00:06Well, we get to see the friendship between Steve Charles and Saz,

00:11and that is revealed in all of its glory,

00:14and it is a beautiful, moving relationship.

00:18Their devotion to each other, and especially Saz's devotion to Charles,

00:23and Charles learns just exactly how, over the years, Saz has given her all for her number one,

00:32and she'd do it all over again.

00:34She'd do it every day.

00:36What's your relationship like with Steve behind the scenes?

00:39What's it like working with him?

00:40It's great, and we live in the same town, so I see him a lot.

00:43It's really wonderful.

00:44We really enjoy each other.

00:47I hope he enjoys me.

00:48I think he does.

00:49I love mimicking his movements.

00:51You know, like, I'll watch him when we're rehearsing the scene,

00:55and if he does something with his glasses or he folds his,

00:57I'll make sure that I, you know, I mimic him like I'm a mirror.

01:01What's it like being on set with him, Marty, and Selena?

01:04It's really nice.

01:04They're the most wonderful people.

01:06They're all smart.

01:08We get very deep very fast, and we all love what we do,

01:13so it's every time I get to, you know, join their merry little band of actors, I'm so happy.

01:19Selena has said this is the most exciting season of the show so far.

01:24How would you say this season takes the show to the next level?

01:27Well, the great thing about Only Murders in the Building is each season has its own completely different tone.

01:34And this season, we get into Hollywood and the Hollywoodization of things,

01:40and we get into the stunt person world.

01:42We get deep into that.

01:43So, yeah, it's more, it's got some Hollywood aspects of it, but it's also in the building a lot.

01:50Do you get all the scripts at the beginning of the season, or do you find out what's happening as it goes?

01:55We find out as we go, although John Hoffman, our showrunner, has kind of whispered some things to me in the beginning,

02:01but not everything.

02:02And we don't get all the scripts, but they know what, they've reversed engineer it.

02:07They know what they're doing.

02:08They're pretty sure, as far as I know, they're pretty sure how this is going to unfold.

02:13But for you, it's a surprise in the end.

02:14For me, almost a complete surprise.

02:17Almost a complete surprise.

02:18Thank you, guys.

02:19Thank you, guys.

02:20Thank you, guys.
