00:00So how would you describe your character in this?
00:03Oh, how do we meet him? He is a southern finance douche that works for his father.
00:10Yeah.
00:11How he ends up?
00:13Only time will tell.
00:14That is true.
00:16So what did you think when you read these scripts and kind of saw what Mike wanted you to do in this show?
00:20I was in shock. My mouth was on the floor.
00:23I texted Mike right away saying, I don't know what is going on in your brain.
00:27You're a genius. You're insane.
00:29And I want to make sure that these are the actual scripts because this is crazy.
00:33It gets wild. It really does.
00:35Mike is such a genius of slowly reeling you in and building all these characters and then just mayhem.
00:43Yeah.
00:44And Parker was saying she hasn't watched these episodes yet.
00:46Have you watched them or how do you approach?
00:48I've seen up to five.
00:50And Parker's genius in it.
00:53Yeah, she's great.
00:56And how do you feel like this season compares to the first two of the show?
00:59Look, I'm a huge fan of the first two.
01:02They're brilliant.
01:03Mike continues to push it to the limits.
01:07He continues to just push the envelope.
01:09The music's different.
01:11There's more characters.
01:12There's more storylines.
01:13There's more episodes.
01:14It's longer.
01:15There's more set pieces, more locations.
01:17It's just everything is bigger.
01:20You know, I don't want to compare it to the other seasons in a sense because I love those.
01:24But he continued to push himself and create something different.
01:28Thank you so much.
01:29Congrats.
