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.

You can’t tell me there’s not a little pink, purple, and blue lightbulb going off in Alex’s head here. One casual “sweetheart” and his brain short circuits.

one thing i really enjoy is when shows and movies use actual real life news broadcasters and interviewers when they need to do a news scene or a talk show scene or something bc 1) it adds and little bit of realism and authenticity to the show/film and 2) you just know said news broadcasters/interviewers probably had So much fun getting to report on fake news or interviewing fake celebrities like how often as an adult do you get to play pretend like that in your real job askdljfh
