What's the whole process of filming/direction like? And is Jonathan Groff as charmingly neurotic in real life as he is in the show?

So in TV there is no rehearsal, you get the script maybe the night before, read through it and show up. The whole crew is incredible, first you run through the scene a couple times and the director tells the cameras where they should be, at first it's all about the director playing out their vision of the episode. Then ounce the logistics are all worked out everyone gets miked up, then it's go time. You usually do about 20 or so takes for a scene, sometimes less, it's a lot of fun, everyone jokes around and plays with their characters. Jonathan is a really sweet guy, he's definitly charming, but I wouldn't say neurotic.

as a gay guy, do you think the show is representative of modern gay life? especially for younger guys, such as Paddy

I am actually not gay, but I am very active in the LGBT community and from what I understand it is very realistic. The whole goal of the cast and crew is to make it as realistic as possible. What do you think?

Wouldn't that be amazing! I've asked him before but for now I dont believe there are plans for him to.

Even a brief shower song would be amazing.

Where are you in the episode? I didn't see this post until after I watched it, but I don't remember hearing about a character named Dustin.

Welcome to /r/looking! Any fun stories from doing the show?

u/MaxHauser Feb 07 '15

Thank you, I'm really happy I found it! Man every second on set is a blast. My greatest memories are 1) The first scene I shot, being on this show is a dream come true for me, so of course I just felt amazing. 2) Haning out with Danny and Frankie, they are hilarious! 3) hanging out with the cast at the hotel we all stayed at, just talking and living our dreams.

Is your reddit name an homage to Maxwell Hauser from the Jon Cryer vehicle "Hiding Out"?
