That scene where Daniel breaks up with little Kat, it made me cry, actually, when I first started watching it. She feels that she’s lacking in sexual experience, and she is not trying to be a prude or a virgin, and it’s almost like this frustration that no one wants to explore her sexually. I think the reality of Kat is that everyone around her is having sex or is thought of as desirable, and she just doesn’t feel that. Why was Kat drawn to this online sex space, and how did she use it to become more empowered? Sam always has reasoning for everything, and you can see it when you’re reading it and watching it. As much as people are watching and being like, “Oh my god, there’s nudity everywhere,” it’s all so deliberate and specific and conveys a message. I signed off to do a lot more nudity we just realized I didn’t even need it. You talk to her and then you talk to her again right before it. Most of my sex scenes I’m fully clothed, or even if I am showing something, it’s all just so talked through. The intimacy coordinator was in almost every decision of people touching each other or showing any sort of skin, so everything was incredibly deliberate and choreographed. In addition to the webcam moments, your character also has a few sex scenes.

It just felt like any other day on set too, but that one day will always be extra good. And everyone there is so cool and respectful and it was such a good experience, even when things like a prosthetic micropenis came into play. I don’t even know if you can see it, but the amount of detail in that room - I wish they would pan out and show you, there was a giant jar of jam that was like half-eaten and these gross little details to it. So I saw a peek of the room, it was in this little room upstairs with the webcam, and I was downstairs in my room and I peeked in and there was a giant jar of jelly. I remember the first week I came in and in the pilot I was overthinking so much because it was my first time doing anything like this, so I went in not even trying to visualize what it would look like because I wanted that genuine “Oh no! No he didn’t!” reaction to it. It was a blast to do, I know it’s funny to watch, but it was also pretty funny to shoot. I don’t get grossed out really quickly, so I had to channel having this be the first really crazy moment of seeing something so extreme and not understanding or computing what was going on.

The reaction is there, the literal scene is my actual reaction to seeing that. He was actually there and had an earpiece in and I could hear him and see the Skype video. The added layer that it’s a micropenis, it was honestly such a fun scene to shoot because my reactions were so genuine. I was really excited to do that scene, it’s so funny and so up my alley of this dark humor but also this very vulnerable, real interaction that I know many people have gone through. What was it like to film that?įunny enough, we shot the pilot and then the first week that we were back, I did that scene.
