Philemon had a lot of really great answers here but I'll let you post what you want from that, I'll just take these cute parts about Jared:
It was amazing. And it was the choice of words. There are so many good quotes from that episode. They are amazing. What I love about it is that Jared's tweeted that last night's episode was one of the most beautifully well-written episodes. Not just of Walker Independence, but on TV. That's a tip of the hat.
Love Jared. I love Jared. Oh boy. Don't do that to me, Jared.
Same sentiment. Same. This was the first one that I was able to actually sit down and watch and be like, okay, you know what? I'm going to take this in. I'm not going to shield myself from the TV. I'm just going to take this in. And it was honestly really nice. And I feel like this, it was a good sendoff.
He really does just love Jared!
You have been one of the most interactive people on Twitter and that has been the most fun because it feels like you get to know more about the actor and not just the character. Right. So the question has to be asked, what was it like working with Jared?
I love Jared. My first time meeting Jared was at Upfronts 2022. And I had a preconceived notion of who I thought Jared was going to be because I'm like, okay, you've worked for X amount of years. They always say don't meet your heroes. And Jared was completely the opposite. He was welcoming, engaging, very, inviting. Him and Gen were just so nice. And I was like, you can't be fucking real. Excuse my language, I'm so sorry.
I was like, you can't be like, this is not how you are. And that's genuinely how Jared is. Me and Jared are friends now, and me and Gen talk often and just them as a couple. They're just so sweet and so nice and yeah, I didn't get to work one-on-one with Jared. It's okay. Eventually, eventually season two, fingers crossed, maybe Jared call my manager. Well, you are executive producer, so you just tell me what to do.
I love that he talks to Gen too??! He's so sweet! And I feel like this is often how people react to meeting Jared - they hope he'll be great, but worry that he'll just be like a million other celebs, then they meet him and he's even better/nicer than they hoped. He's one of the exceptions to the "never meet your idol" rule because he actually exceeds expectations. "You just tell me what to do" lol, love how much he just trusts Jared and wants to work with him, on anything.
What a great article, anon! I'm glad you brought it to my attention! I think Jared and Philemon are two of the nicest actors I've had the joy of following. Jared and Gen are so inviting to everyone they meet, their new friendship with Philly is such a lovely thing to witness!
