Russell and Rhys are relentlessly self-deprecating, and when they aren’t actually completing each other’s sentences, they’re certainly yes-and-ing them in short order. “The high-profile writer could very well read Variety and say, ‘Oh, he’s mocking me in the fucking news.’” (Russell and Rhys share a son, age 10, and she has two older children from a previous relationship.) I don’t know. Rhys got the pilot script, and ran lines with his onstage castmate Adam Driver, with Driver playing the Russell part.
