00:00Well, how are you feeling this Oscar season?
00:02Are you feeling like you're getting to enjoy it a little bit after all the buzz of your own award
00:06nominations last year?
00:07Oh, yeah.
00:08I think it's nice to not have to feel like we have to do anything for this one and just
00:14relax and hopefully watch all the movies.
00:16And I'm getting there.
00:18I still have a lot to go.
00:20Well, you know that's my next question.
00:21I want to know which ones you've seen in theater.
00:24In theaters, none.
00:26No, because we just stopped shooting.
00:28And that is, oh, wait, no, that's a lie.
00:31One battle after another is the only thing I saw in theaters.
00:33Because I was also told, it's big.
00:36You kind of got to see it in theaters, yeah.
00:39Well, what's your favorite picture or performance?
00:41I think one battle so far wins for me.
00:44All around.
00:45I thought it was fabulous and I also didn't know where it was going next, but I was happy for
00:51the ride.
00:51I love that kind of stuff.
00:54So I just binged the pin over the weekend.
00:56Actually, all five of the second season.
00:59I know.
01:00It just sounds right.
01:01That's drama.
01:02Exactly.
01:03That's what I'm coming to my question.
01:06What are your days like after?
01:08Are you able to kind of take the show off?
01:11No.
01:11I mean, I think we all just go home and I end up kind of drooling on myself, realizing I
01:18could go to bed.
01:18And then that's all I do for eight months.
01:21So, yeah.
01:24How did it feel coming back for season two and kind of being settled in and with all the acclaim?
01:28Yeah.
01:29I mean, I think a lot of the extreme level of anxiety at least was gone.
01:33So it's like a normal, healthy, extreme anxiety.
01:37But the, like, staying up at night worrying, that was all gone.
01:41Because once we figured out how to shoot it, because none of us really knew how to do it.
01:44But once we figured it out, it was like, oh, thank God.
01:47Such a huge part of it.
01:49An amazing show.
01:50And I know it gets so much feedback from health care workers.
01:53I'm curious also even your character's journey with having a sister who's special needs.
01:57Like, what kind of feedback has stood out to you most?
02:00I mean, all of it's great.
02:01I think especially for health care workers to feel seen has felt like the biggest impact.
02:08And I remember I was, some of the cast, we were on a tour of the Children's Hospital here in
02:14L.A., which is wonderful.
02:16And a doctor asked Noah to sign his board certification, which Noah had never done before, too.
02:23And it was just, we all kind of, like, are thinking about, like, that's his license.
02:26That's his license to practice.
02:27And we're just kind of like, oh, my God.
02:30This is the level?
02:32It's incredible.
02:33That's awesome.
02:35Well, I want to ask you, what has been the most unexpected moment of your career so far?
02:39Oh, God.
02:40All of it?
02:41I don't know.
02:41I was perfectly happy doing, like, little bits and just working as a bartender and stuff.
02:47And so this is all kind of not expected and very exciting.
