“Shrinking” star Michael Urie’s Episode 8 monologue explaining his compassion for Louis (Brett Goldstein) was the greatest gift he’s ever been given as an actor, he told TheWrap — though it was also the most challenging task he had to pull off.

“The hardest thing that I had to do was this big monologue where I explain my relationship with [Louis], this relationship that I sort of developed,” Urie said. “A couple of episodes later, I do the exact same monologue again, almost verbatim, like 98% verbatim to Jimmy. That was for me, like, the greatest gift I’ve ever been given as an actor for on television, for sure — and extremely challenging.”
