Goldstein is portraying none other than the author of Jimmys misery.
He is the as-of-yet unnamed drunk driver who accidentally killed Jimmys wife in a collision.
Jimmy is understandably not receptive to these overtures.
We didnt know who would play it, so we talked to a lot of really cool actors.
I didnt see it at first, Lawrence says.
I was like What do you mean?
Hes the angry, gruff guy.
Im a TV writer, by the way.
The fact that I fell prey to believing someone was their character is so bad.
Its so annoying to me.
Thankfully, Segel saw the vision even when Lawrence didnt.
Now he gets to spend the second season ofShrinkingacting alongside his series co-creator, co-writer, and co-star.
Man, hes my really good friend, Segel says.
I admire him, I respect him, and I look up to him.
We had to do some really intimate, hard scenes.
It was an honor.
I think he kills it, Lawrence says.
Im a little annoyed by how talented he is.
