he asks back, laughing.
Well, theres one person who originally didnt the woman who plays Dedra.

That’s the one thing I’m asking you.’
And I’m like, I don’t think I’m going to answer that.
That was never my fear.
It was inevitable to me that this was really interesting.
I’m fascinated by them.
I view Syril as a fantasist.
I think his inner life, his imagination is just running wild.
It’s very loud in his head all the time.
I think it’s very quiet for Dedra.

Circumstances arise that put that to the test.
And then, my God, Eedys coming to dinner!
Ah yes, the dinner.
You want Syril in your life, you will think before you speak.
Ill confirm he visits twice a month.
Ill check that that he calls you.
It was a hilarious punctuation mark, but one which Gilroy originally resisted.
I remember watching the dailies come in on that, he tellsEntertainment Weekly.
I hated him lying on the bed.
I was like, Oh man, what are you doing?
But Gilroy decided to trust his director, Ariel Kleiman.
Ariel was really adamant about it, and I was on the fence about it, Gilroy reveals.
That’s really all him, that’s all his blocking.
The cherry on it was the cue that he put on there, says Gilroy.
That sort of sixtiesMary Tyler MooreTV cue.
It was like, Man, this, just comes alive!
Everybody had a lot of fun with that.
