Can you talk about working with James Van Der Beek?
I would love to talk about that because whenever I had a scene with James, it was always so exciting because he was so good as Sean. He was just so there and awesome to watch. Besides that, his own energy as a person, just being there on set really, really calm, loving and collaborative. He wasn’t in some weird hateful Sean Bateman place all the time. Honestly, he made it challenging for me when I had a scene with him. My scenes were different when I had them with Jessica and with Ian or with Eric. It was different energies with each and you can see them on screen. But with him, it was always like something kind of magical happened. He was just great. Were you familiar with Bret Easton Ellis’ work? I saw “Less Than Zero” and I saw “American Psycho” and that was it. That doesn’t really count as far as reading his stuff or whatever. I didn’t read the book; I didn’t read “The Rules of Attraction.” It was just something Roger and I decided. I was the only cast member that didn’t actually.
