When you think back at Season 2, which aired last summer on HBO, what is the first thing that comes to mind? "It's probably the loss of my sparring partner, my confidante, Eve Best. I know it sounds silly because we're just acting, but it's the most wrenching thing that she will not be there to continue the journey with me and the rest of us." What was Eve Best's final day like on the set for you? "We had to reshoot a scene, the one when she's about to go and do that mission. And we didn't realize it was her last day, because everything's shot out of sequence. So we did that scene, and then the director, Alan Taylor, said, "OK, and that's Eve's last day." And we're like, "Oh my God, no!" There were tears on my part. I've been on record before saying that after the first day we ever shot together, I went home and said, "Thank God for Eve Best." When we first met, within about five or 10 minutes, we were hugging each other. In a business full of lovely, charismatic people, to have a connection like that with somebody is still a rarity. And so I'm very thankful that I got to work with her, and hopefully we'll work with her again."
