Hannah Simone: 作为演员,我认为《New Girl》的选角非常成功,演员之间的化学反应也非常好。很多人都想参与《New Girl》的演出,几乎镇上所有的演员都来试镜了,每个人都有一个差点加入节目的故事。创造一个伟大的演员阵容需要快速行动和彻底的搜寻。当Damon出现时,他给整个剧组带来了积极的影响,他的态度很放松,这让大家都可以更轻松地享受乐趣。Damon和Lamorne的关系非常紧密,他们都知道彼此对对方的加入都有帮助。 Seth Yanklewitz: 为了《New Girl》,我和我的选角伙伴进行了大量的搜寻工作。我同时参与了《摇滚年代》电影和《New Girl》的选角工作,工作量巨大,经常在办公室工作到凌晨一两点,或者在家不停地看录像带。我第一次为一个角色看了大约400人,尤其是在教练角色上,因为我们后来把它从白人改成了多元化。我也认为Damon回归是策略,当他们选择了Winston时,我非常高兴,因为不能再用教练这个角色了。Lamorne非常出色,我们很希望他接受这个机会,但注定属于你的东西终究会回到你身边,就像Damon最终还是回归了剧组。创作组决定不简单地替换教练角色,而是创建一个新角色,他们对如何创造一个新角色进行了深思熟虑。我很喜欢Damon Wayans Jr.,在疫情期间我曾在一个试播集中与他合作,他非常出色。
