Nick is not at all like Henry — in any way. He didn’t need to be. What I needed to find in Henry was an actor who would take this fragile character and hold him in his hand, and protect him. I didn’t need to find an actor to play Henry. I needed to find a caretaker for Henry. Once I found Nick, I knew I had that.
With Taylor, it was much more difficult because the Alexs of the world exist in so many different ways. There are so many different kinds of Alex Claremont-Diaz in the world, and threading the needle on the specificity of what Casey wrote that I wanted to honor — which is that wicked language-forward intelligence; that easy charm — that took a lot of time to find. Then, Taylor showed up. He isn’t at all like Alex, either. I watched Taylor in his auditions turn into this human cannonball.
Nick holds the character, and Taylor had to turn himself into the character.

MARISSA: Where the fuck is he, WHAT did you do to him!
SHADOW: Michael and MW are missing too.
MARISSA: Don't play into his fucking mind games, Ryan. He already knows.
CHANCE: I don't think so, Marissa. Ty doesn't usually play dumb.
TY: Chris is right, Marissa. Playing dumb doesn't suit me, do I look like a himbo? And I would never lie to you. Unless it was in the service of protecting some very valuable data.

we talk about watching bad movies/tv shows for new actors we're obsessed with, but no one ever mentions the unforeseen consequence of paying attention to an industry so foreign to you, you're like an alien from another planet observing it
