Your child.

Exactly.

Arrested development.

You was a child, and I just want to prove how Look how this is.

Look how young you were when you started the show.

Still getting reaction?

Yeah.

Yeah, I was 14 when I did the pilot, right.

15 1st season.

Like we finished it all when I was 18 America essentially watched you go through puberty.

Yeah.

Yeah, because the graders decided, tow Use that a spy, Get me sit on Michael Sarah's lap.

But it's very awkward, you know, lots of fun stuff. 00:00:53.100 --> 00:01:2.090 Well, when you're when you're young actor in an ensemble cast like this and you're playing a family member with a huge family, do they become your surrogate family during that time? 00:01:2.320 --> 00:01:3.660 Have you two degree week? 00:01:4.820 --> 00:01:10.680 I mean, Michael became very close, like best friends from it, especially we're going through.

That's what we're going to school in between.

Every tape, which is, you know, at the time also was like such a bummer because, like in between, that's when you get to know each other on a shoot.

And we had to be, like, dragged away with these, like, terrible studio teachers.

Um, yeah, that's a whole other show.

Okay, studio teachers, they heard us there, but yeah, I mean, we were the only ones who could relate to like it.

Also, just again not even being aware of it, that but the content of what we were doing, like how great smart it was and how fun it was to the scenes like it built our sense of humor very much so as well.

Like doing that kind of work for, like, three years.

It was just our sensibility.

We weren't like, This is so much better than all the shit my agents and, you know, we were just like, Oh, this is what we're doing And it's funny, but like, it formed us a lot.

And then, yeah, you know, I'm very maternal relationship with Mitch Hurwitz, a creator, and David and Tony, like, you know, you have the similarity to, but they're also all like actors and comedians, like, you know, funny assholes in their own right.

My parents aren't funny.

Ansel's.

Yeah.

So is the thing where you stayed in touch with a lot of the cast over the years.

Yeah, some of them.

Yeah, sure.

You know, when we see each other like this crazy resurgence, things has been very odd.

Like doing the whole of their season after, like so long.

We were like, What the fuck?

Like it was so weird to be back on set.

And I remember, you know, only wrapped.

I was like, child.

So I came back.

I felt I got so much to prove about myself, like that sex.

I've traveled on drugs, friends of rock stars.

Like I was trying to prove myself this, like, terrible way to feel like I'm gonna call now in the minute I got there.

I just, like, realizes it doesn't matter.

A lot of great source of the craft service table.

Exactly that they were never prompted.

Tell us about losing opportunity.

No one. 00:03:0.180 --> 00:03:4.000 Jason wasn't asking that wasn't that. 00:03:4.170 --> 00:03:9.130 Was it the general attitude by a lot of the cast members When you guys came together for the first day of the Netflix show? 00:03:9.140 --> 00:03:10.780 Like What the fuck are we doing here?

Did anyone want to do it?

Yes.

Yeah, of course.

Way.

We're, like, so excited to do it.

They have been talking about it for still along, right?

I remember like I wasn't like Jordan of all places, like doing an independent film out there.

And I, like, was waking up from like this.

Like I felt like a scene out of like Aladdin, you know, like the window hole cut out just like a tattered sheet.

And I was like, Well, like an Arab man on.

I like going to my phone and it's like early the morning.

It's like Katie Sparks the word reform and she's like, We're having a meeting like a wardrobe fitting in two days.

Get ready And I literally had not heard we were going at all like it had been in talks, but nothing official.

No, like scheduling or nothing.

I was just like, Are you seriously, this is happening.

And she was like, Yeah, and I had to get on a plane the next day and just gonna fall back into it.

It was also just a strange form because they wrote it. 00:03:59.640 --> 00:04:0.860 It's all over the place. 00:04:0.860 --> 00:04:2.300 Like the writing was insane. 00:04:2.310 --> 00:04:5.060 Yeah, way shot all the episodes at once. 00:04:5.060 --> 00:04:7.070 And they were like I was like, So where am I coming from it. 00:04:7.070 --> 00:04:8.340 She's like, we don't know yet. 00:04:9.540 --> 00:04:18.170 So and then you kind of go in a corner, like looking a wall, Just imagining a circus on his own like No, it was Okay.

So you're gonna get fired.

You got arrested, right?

And then you come in there.

Okay?

Yeah.

That's what job and I was like, I don't know, just tell me where to go.

Contact stuff.

It's okay.

My dad took the cocaine.

I'll understand Optic area.

You know that, right?

Agent Jacobs.

He's written a lot of, like, immersive journals.

Esquire.

He's been a guest on the show a couple times, and he organized a global family reunion last year.

And what he was trying to do is basically saying we're all related, every single one.

But his plan is related somehow.

And I thought it be kind of fun exercise to plug in you and Michael Cera because you play cousins on the show.

There's just love thing.

Oh, my God.

This is so fun.

Yeah, Except Michael's There is not in the database.

Oh, but I am. 00:04:57.070 --> 00:05:2.300 But you are nice and will earn It is So he gave you Will Arnett. 00:05:2.310 --> 00:05:4.050 And you were also your cousin on the show. 00:05:4.060 --> 00:05:5.850 So it turns out we learned that analogy. 00:05:5.850 --> 00:05:6.150 Shock. 00:05:6.150 --> 00:05:7.510 It are related there. 00:05:7.510 --> 00:05:9.250 29 cousins once.

This is actually how you're related.

Like that.

Far to me, that sounds like really close.

Actually, 29 dozens through Norwegian royalty here.

Mother.

My grandmother is Norwegian.

Yeah.

Royalty.

Royalty.

That's what I told Harold, the third hard ruler.

King of Norway Way.

Yeah.

This is a hair of the third hard ruler.

It somehow it goes back to Will Arnett in Canada.
