I’m re-watching The Magicians with my wife, since she’s never seen it. It’s been long enough since I watched it last that I don’t remember a lot of things that happened, so there’s a lot of “I forgot got that!” moments for me, which is fun.

Such a great show. I got to work with Martin Starr for about 8 months a couple years ago and he is exactly like that character in real life sometimes lol. His humor is so deadpan.
That’s so cool! I loved him in Freaks and Geeks too
Yeah it was great. He’s an awesome person, he regularly bought Ice cream for the whole crew or had taco trucks show up, on him. He’d even pick up the tab if we all went out to party or whatever. Have you ever watched Party Down? He’s hilarious in that too. Plus it got a new season recently.
Also, what were you working with him on? If you don’t mind me asking.
I was his permanent stand-in on Tulsa King. Basically he and I look very much alike so I did the scenes while they setup lighting and camera angles and stuff like that. Sometimes if Stallone was gone I would stand there while Martin “talked” to Stallone’s character. They don’t always film a conversation with both people present, sometimes one person just shoots all their dialogue then later the other person does theirs but they need a line of sight so the actor knows where to look. Stuff like that basically. But we hung out occasionally after work or during road trips to shoot on site or whatever. We became quickly acquainted, he’s so easy to like.
Man, that sounds like an awesome gig. It must have its slow moments but I’m sure it was a great experience. Thanks for sharing
Yeah it was a blast but also boring as hell at times. But we always found a way to have fun on set and I made new friends for life. The days that we’re particularly slow were usually the days that Martin would hire an ice cream truck or taco truck or whatever, just to keep all of us busy and happy basically. Andrea Savage also used to get us food catered for no reason. The food on set was already five star cuisine but still every times when we were just doing nothing and bored and suddenly a gelato truck or something would show up so that was always nice.
No I haven’t seen party down, but my brother continuously recommends it to me. I’ll have to check it out now
Def check it out. It’s what I call cringe humor but it’s pretty great nonetheless.
Can’t forget Party Down as well!
