![]() He has had such a nice evolution on the show and is a great character, especially when it comes to his friends and family. Four seasons is well beyond anything that I expected to be a part of, so the whole thing has been - yeah, it’s been a lovely surprise. Yes, I’m surprised that we’re still on the air. So yeah, the short answer is yes, I was surprised. It’s like, how do you thread that needle? How do you actually find an audience anymore? Especially on network television, I feel like it’s probably more challenging than it’s ever been because you’re still kind of working inside of a relatively small sandbox, while all these streamers can just do whatever the hell they want. There’s a million platforms, and everybody’s in something. Even after the great run that we had on Psych, I’m still always genuinely thrown when anything catches on, and it’s not just something that I’m a part of, it’s just anything because there’s more content than ever. You know, I never expect anyone to watch anything that I do. But I’m happy, I’m happy that I made the choice that I made and wouldn’t have met a lot of really great people if I hadn’t, and here we are.ĭid you expect this sort of fan response to the series? I feel like that’s something you can’t predict. That’s kind of the niche that it’s in and that’s, I think, what our fans have come to expect. But it’s a type of show that needs to deliver an emotional punch each week. Could some of these people afford to have some nice things happen to them sometimes? I think so. Does it get a little sad sometimes? Sure, sure. ![]() Really appreciate the talent of the people that I work with, appreciate how authentically DJ strives to try and reach people, touch people, and make as many people feel seen as humanly possible. So the whole thing has been a surprise and I’m just on the ride, hanging on, and rolling with it as it goes, and gratifying in many ways. And well, you know the decision that I made, but even when I made that decision, I wasn’t thinking in terms of like four seasons, that’s for sure. So it was a lot of stuff that sort of conspired to make me think real hard about whether or not I wanted to be done in front of the camera. It had a lot to do with the pilot scripts, the fact that it was an opportunity to play a male character with breast cancer, and DJ Nash is a hell of a salesman. So the mere fact that I was kind of roped back in, especially for a network series was by no means something that I saw coming. I had sort of transitioned away from acting when Psych finished and I had been doing a lot of stuff behind the camera. Yeah, I mean, it’s been pretty wild honestly. How would you describe your A Million Little Things journey and everything the show has brought you? The show is in its fourth season now and I’m sure that is a really beautiful thing to be able to explore a character for so long. I will personally deliver your message to DJ and the rest of the team. James Roday Rodriguez: Oh, that’s awesome. So thank you for taking the time to speak with me today. First off, I want to say I’m such a fan of you and your work, but also A Million Little Things. ![]()
