ENTREVISTA COM DAVID WALTON During this exclusive interview, actor David Walton talked about how much fun he has making this show, telling a compelling story that people can really care about, that the season finale goes for the jugular in a surprising way, that he had no idea the variety of things he’d get to do on this show, how even though he’s a father himself, his irresponsible phase is so fresh in his memory that he has no problem relating to his character, why he thinks romance between Will and Fiona would ruin the show, and how great his young co-star Benjamin Stockham is to work with. Check out what he had to say after the jump. Collider: Is this show just so much fun to do? DAVID WALTON: It really is. One of the advantages our show has is that this cast is so small and the stories are so simple that you end up really only having an A story and maybe a little B story, with every episode. Whereas other comedies I see have to juggle these huge ensembles. I think that helps people be able to hook into the story when they get home from a long day of work. It’s not that it’s not intelligent writing, but you set it up right away and you’re on this journey. You don’t have to go, “Who’s that?,” or “What’s this new character?” It’s simple and intelligent, at the same time. If you were going to do a half-hour comedy, was it important to you that it be one where you could have some real character growth and progression? WALTON: Yeah, and even more so, as we go along. Unfortunately, a television episode is 21 minutes with credits. Story is the hardest thing. Everyone can write jokes and makes things clever. The thing about Jason Katims, which I’ve always trusted, is that he can make a compelling story that people can really hook into and end up caring about. Having him there was a really settling, relaxing feeling. Going into this show, was it nice to know that you were in the hands of someone who’s not only done well with turning movies into successful TV shows, but he’s also really great with characters and story and pulling at people’s emotions? WALTON: I know. I’ll tell you, our season finale goes for the jugular, in Katims’ style. I think it will be surprising how this organic story gets told in the season finale. I think people will talk about it because I don’t think a comedy has ever gone for it like this. But, people like to feel things.
When I watch a comedy that’s just hitting you over the head with jokes, constantly, some really hit, but if they miss, you’re like, “Eh.” And we don’t really go for that. We go for the situations, but there’s never a joke that either character could say. It’s always very specific. And there just isn’t really that many jokey jokes. So, I love that. All I have to do, and all we have to do as characters, is just play the scenes pretty real, with a heightened fun. That’s my favorite stuff. And there’s some real, heartwrenching stuff. Every character has cried. I was like, “Is this a comedy, or what?” And I was a little nervous about that, when we were shooting before the show aired. Hopefully, when you watch the show, you feel better at the end of the episode than when you started. You feel like you got a hug, and that’s a nice feeling. I don’t think it’s the funniest show ever made, but combining the heart, realness and humor, I think it’s a really special show. I hope it will be the tip of the spear for a seismic shift in what people are doing with network comedies.
When you signed on to do this show, did you have any idea that you’d be doing such a variety of different things? WALTON: No. Honestly, I met with Jason and I asked him, “What happens after the pilot?” And I think with someone like him, who’s obviously done so much work and is confident, he was very simply like, “We’re just gonna explore who Will is, in a somewhat heightened sense of reality, and tell stories that don’t always end well.” I think the first four episodes matched the pilot structure. As new people come, they had to see what it would be. But now, we’re in this exciting territory where every episode is going into new directions. How much fun was it to get to sing on the show? WALTON: Truthfully, I didn’t know I could sing, and [Katims] didn’t know that I could sing. I was so relieved when I finally saw it. I was terrified doing that, but it was a nice relief that I could, at least, carry a tune. I couldn’t sing it well, but I could carry it. Will’s a songwriter, not a singer. Do you enjoy getting to have so many great guest actors to play off of, like Leslie Bibb and Adrianne Palicki? WALTON: Oh, yeah, I think they timed it perfectly. It was getting a little bit old with, “Oh, Will’s got a new girl over, every day.” That would have been fine, but my character falls in love with Adrianne’s character, which is a first for him. It comes out of nowhere and you’re like, “This is a whole new side of this person.
And as the series progresses, you’ll see some sides of Will that are far more vulnerable than you would have anticipated when you first saw it. There’s an evolution of the relationships. With a lot of comedies, you could see the first episode and then see the season finale and go, “Not a lot has changed with these people.” If you did that with our show, you’d be like, “What, what?!” There’s a real organic progression that is appealing and will make people want more.
