The Emmy-nominated actor shares a tribute to his fellow cast members in Amazon Freevee’s “experiment.”
The show was designed to create a hero’s journey for somebody, and he did that perfectly.
But beyond that, he kept surprising us with how perfect he was to be a candidate for this.

He’s definitely the heartbeat of the show.
Instead, we were doing the opposite, which was to highlight his humanity.
Everyone understood their duty no pun intended and what we were there to do.
Beyoncé, Pedro Pascal, Ayo Edeberi, Ronald Gladden on ‘Jury Duty,’ Taylor Swift, Sasha Colby, M3GAN, Cillian Murphy in ‘Oppenheimer,’ Margot Robbie in ‘Barbie’, Kelsea Ballerini, Ariana Madix on ‘Vanderpump Rules.’.
And everyone was very generous with each other with the improv.
It was really a stroke of brilliance watching him work.
I could say that about every one of the cast members.
He went kind of method there to that degree of commitment, and everyone was that way.
It took so much courage.
We’re sticking our heads out, taking major risks, and nobody knew it was going to work.
There were no egos.
And I wouldn’t have done it if I wasn’t insulated with this amazing cast of talented people.
