Are you serious? Yes. And I was like, what?
Yeah! But my question was, you watched that and saw Toby? And I was like, why? I would never ask that to anybody else. I don't want to know why.
You've done some questionable things. Well, there was, when you guys left, I remember the last episode that you guys did, because it was like, I had that realization, like, wait, what do you mean? What do you mean you're going to do something else?
Yeah, okay. And during my last scene, you both separately were like, just so you know, as you go forward in this show, do your thing.
All of you are going to know these characters better than anybody. And I just, I don't know, that was kind of a big moment for me in my career.
I'm just not quite sure how it works. For our listeners, the reason why there's a different director for every episode of television, usually, is because there's all of this prep work that goes into each episode and post-production.
And you can't do both while also shooting. And so there has to be a rotation. And so you get to work with all of these wonderful guest directors who come in and do their episode. Yeah. But that being said, you get into season three, four, five, six of a TV show, and they've watched a couple episodes, but they're not- As adept, like steeped in the knowledge of the- They usually watch the pilot.
And their job on a very rudimentary, and this is me minimizing it terribly, is to get coverage. enough coverage that when they pass that coverage on to the creator of the show who's gonna edit it together, he has every option he could want or she could want to put an episode of television together.
So they're getting different colors and different levels and different emotions and they're honestly getting way more options than someone like you or Ken Olin would get, because they are, for lack of a better term, covering their asses.
years of trust and we can we shorthand each other yeah i will say that was probably one of my biggest growing areas as a professional on this show was was to allow collaboration with a guest director who i maybe didn't think knew as much as I did. I'm serious about this scene, about these two people, about where we've been and where we're going, like all these things.
And I certainly got a little like, Resistant. Pardon me, sir, madam. I'll take it from here.
Right. Yeah. And to allow collaboration like that, to let them do their job and to not be a pain in the ass of like, all right, you want to try something different? Great, let's try something different. To allow, I definitely needed to learn how to do that more.
Sterling, you know what I think a black man would say here? Yeah. If I could.
