Lewis Pullman says LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY co-star Brie Larson taught him an important lesson

this speaks of the breadth of your work couldn’t be we couldn’t talk about something more different than lessons in chemistry which obviously um has played such huge a claim on Apple TV plus I mean your your team leader there uh in a m like I can’t think of somebody more different in many ways than than Josh than Brie Larson except that they share great talent um yeah but um Bri a unique team leader I remember like I’ve talked to like other casts like I remember like Kong Skull Island she was talking about like organizing like you know amusement Park trips every weekend she’s like Alpha like I’m going to entertain we we are doing this and you’re following me is that fair to say that’s very fair to say and very accurate and and a and a rare trait I think in a leader you know and I think that that’s the kind of thing that makes for those kind of memories because I learned too late that you you don’t have to suffer to make something great I learned that late this is an important lesson really I did I really thought that you had to just self flagellate and suff and it wasn’t you know till I don’t know a couple years ago where I was like when you’re the more relaxed you are the more free you are to take risks it’s as simple as that yeah and like the risks are sometimes horrible and but nobody ever sees them me it’s all just the memory of the day and and and um and but then sometimes it’s what makes makes a show you know and and um or makes a movie and uh and so that kind of an attitude that like yes you’re exactly right Bri has which is like almost like camp counselor the your favorite camp counselor where it’s like you know games on set like themed days um just like even in some of the hardest content you know there’s a lot of really tough stuff in this and a lot of sure stuff that she had to do that I I’m sure was not that was really hard and and um and uh but you know in between would be sure to like with all of her might you know try and inject this this this warm glow on the set and it really made a huge huge difference and every I think everyone on that set had a good time and speaks well to your talents again I know you won’t probably volunteer this but I’ll say this for those who don’t know uh and this never happens by the way you were for those that haven’t seen the show we’re not going to spoil anything but you weren’t going to be in necessarily a ton of episodes and that changed that changed on the Fly and which is pretty pretty significant and and a great you know feather in your cap thank you Josh that was a big that was a pleasant surprise you know I yeah it was supposed to just be in the first two episodes and maybe show up at the end and Lee Eisenberg the showrunner on that he’s such a brilliant brilliant mind you know he did that show jury duty which was just like reinvented just like I don’t know the storytelling for him um but he yeah so he’s like a an expert um expert improviser I guess that’s not the right word but like creating on the go and and you know not being so beholden to these ideas that you had that you that must make their way into the final product he’s very much like time is moving the world is spinning like things are changing let’s grab this grab that this is working let’s zoom in on that and and that I think is a rare you know to have that kind of Bravery um and so I was very I you know I I I Pro indebted to him for that because I was really excited to be able to further kind of excavate Calvin evans’s story in that show and uh and continue to work with all these great
