“Shrinking” star Brett Goldstein said his fellow co-creator and co-star Jason Segel helped him out in a surprising way during their confrontational scene in Episode 8.
“He’s an amazing actor, and he’s also one of the most selfless scene partners I’ve ever known in that he would do stuff when it wasn’t his coverage, when the camera wasn’t on him, he would do stuff to help you,” Goldstein, whom Segel pushed to have play Louis (the drunk driver involved in Jimmy’s wife’s fatal car crash), told TheWrap.
“There’s a scene later in the show, he said things to me off camera that aren’t in the show, but that affected me in a way that was very useful for this.
