![]() So it was a real dream come true to get to record them. When I was a kid, my brother and I shared a room and he used to put on the Duran Duran tape - yes, I said tape - every night we would listen to “The Reflex” and “Rio” and all of the old hits they had. TVLINE | You guys perform a Duran Duran mash-up at the beginning of the episode - was that a childhood dream come true for you? Anytime you’re playing someone’s sibling you want to get to know that person and it’s important that they be accessible to that, and Darren was completely open and available so that we were able to develop a friendship and get an idea of what it would be like to actually be brothers. We had a lot of laughs between takes, and we had a lot of fun playing off of each other. He was completely professional and fun and came to play. I had an incredible time working with Darren. TVLINE | What was your dynamic like with Darren? But then once he realizes that he’s kind of a hometown hero, the hubris kicks in and his ego expands exponentially. But I think he also needs to get back in touch with his roots and reality because he’s having a tough go of it. I think he comes back to town under the ruse that he’s doing all of this gritty work for the next commercial campaign. For him, hearing something like that is just the best news ever. It makes me think, ‘I really hope hair and makeup to work that day.” At the end of the day, Cooper is just desperate for validation. What is it like to hear that? Does it make you uncomfortable? I think Kurt refers to you as the most good-looking guy in all of North America. TVLINE | The script also has some fun with your looks. ![]() I’ve definitely had crazy acting teachers… Just completely bat s–t crazy. And then sometimes you’re just scratching your head. And sometimes there’s a lot of gold in their advice. Any actor who participated in drama in high school or college had experience with guest speakers. TVLINE | Have you ever encountered someone like Cooper? And over the course of that path, he sort of developed his own short cuts and tricks of the trade, which are all horribly misleading and misguided. He clearly hasn’t had an easy road of it as an actor. At the heart of it, he really does want to help his brother avoid the slings and arrows of being a young artist. To me, the fun of the role was getting to play somebody who had such strong convictions and opinions about all of the wrong things and in all of the wrong ways. TVLINE | Was it fun playing such a D-bag? And then a week later I got a text from him asking me if I wanted to come on the show to sing it. I had heard the Gotye song and I asked Ryan if he ever thought of using that as a duet on the show.
