But what was very special to me was that he was always 100 percent there for me in between scenes. That’s what I find the most fun about acting, is that you meet another actor in a scene and you really connect—you have a genuine connection in a fictional world that can feel very profound. It’s almost like—maybe it’s also a nice link to Westworld—it can almost feel more real than something in real life. You feel really present with each other. And Ed being the amazing actor that he is, he was always 100 percent present, 100 percent there for me, and as a father, in those scenes, I thought he was extremely loving—although he was a terrible father. As an actor, he was a very good father to have.
