I love the show. I’m a fan of the show, and I’ve heard that there was a great guest arc coming for a strong female and (creator) Dan Fogelman auditions everybody. Everybody auditions for the show. My team came to me and they were like, 'Is this something that you would want enough that you’d be willing to read for?' And I said, 'Uhhh, yeah!'"
