Yeah, well, that is 100% a huge part of the experience of being in these facilities, no question. There are folks who have moved in for a very wide range of reasons, and one of them is cognitive decline. But at least in the facilities that we toured, there is another part of it that's just folks who maybe they had a physical ailment or maybe they just were tired of living alone.

Oh, we did ask ourselves as writers over the course of the show whether what Charles was doing was, strictly speaking, ethical. It's a question that the documentary asks, too.

In the documentary, Sergio, the main character, ends up moving out without anyone learning what he was really there for. He doesn't get caught. And we decided that what was important was for Charles to suffer the consequences of having been essentially dishonest to the folks that he was interacting with.

Oh, man. This is going to sound like a strange thing to say. He loves acting. And that, you would think, would be true of any actor, but it's more true for him. He just loves it.
