Rainn Wilson: 本期节目中,Rainn Wilson 分享了他对电视剧收视率和节目取消的看法,他认为《Backstrom》的取消是由于当时的收视率标准过于严格,而几年后,同样的收视率却成了热门剧集的标准。他还谈到了《办公室》的前两季收视率很低,差点被砍,但后来收视率逐渐上升,并获得艾美奖提名后才得以继续播出。他认为《办公室》虽然收视率并非爆款,但它深受观众喜爱,并且拥有独特的观众群体(大学生和富人),这使其对电视台非常有价值。他还谈到了他在纽约做了10年的戏剧演员,但几乎没有获得任何影视剧的试镜机会,而在洛杉矶的演艺事业比在纽约更成功,因为洛杉矶的casting director更能看到他的潜力和多样性。他分享了他对《The Bassoon King》这本书的看法,以及他正在写一本关于灵性的书,探讨了灵性对解决世界问题的意义。 Rainn Wilson 还谈到了他与 James Spader 合作的经历,以及 Steve Carell 和 James Spader 不同的表演风格,并分享了他对《办公室》重聚的想法,以及他与 James Spader 合作拍摄电影《Bad Influence》的经历,以及他对于在电影中扮演 James Dean 式角色的想法。 Rob Lowe: Rob Lowe 在节目中与 Rainn Wilson 讨论了电视剧的收视率和节目取消的问题,他认为《The Grinder》的取消是一个错误,它本应该继续播出。他还谈到了养育青少年,尤其是在当代社会,面临着诸多挑战,包括社交媒体和精神健康危机的影响。他认为新冠疫情对青少年心理健康造成了负面影响,远程学习更是加剧了这一问题。他还分享了他对 Netflix 失去《办公室》后片库价值受到影响的看法,以及他认为在喜剧表演中,选择合适的演员至关重要,他们应该能够进行即兴表演。Rob Lowe 还分享了他对《Caddyshack》、《Blazing Saddles》和《Borat》这三部喜剧电影的喜爱,以及他不会乘坐由演员驾驶的飞机的看法。
