You never really know what the camera is picking up in a scene -- or even where it is. There are stealth shots that surprise us all the time.
This is the most surreal moment for me ever,
Once you have all those emotional aspects in line and you're in sync with the other person, then you find out what it really is and how great it can be, ... putting the cart before the horse, and you can probably make a pun out of that, as well.
Just the idea of him with a love interest is mind-boggling, ... I don't know how it could be handled.
I always thought that if I could get on a sitcom as maybe the wacky neighbor, that would be pretty incredible.
He does his job just well enough to keep it. The ridiculous exploits and faux pas are just this side of lawsuit territory so he continues to ride the wave of inefficiency and lack of expertise. I don't think that's necessarily unusual that one might be very good at one job and then is promoted, and you have no proficiency whatsoever.
It's really a comedy about all these people who are looking for the loves of their lives, and struggling to find happiness during this pursuit,
So, at least the way I saw it, those first six episodes, we were very new as characters to this documentary crew, so we were more awkward with the crew ... And now that the crew has been there for a while, we're sort of getting used to them and playing to them and getting a little more confident in terms of how we use the camera.

For the better part of my adult life, I proudly avoided nerd/nimrod/goober status. I was always just cool enough.
He's likable and normal but is a slight degree of a hermit and has a huge secret, ... I think it bothers him, but he's getting through and trying to keep a stiff upper lip about it.
I do hope someday to play a part that is less of a jerk.
It's nice to find people who live on the fringe, finding one another and she's just unrelentingly funny.
