“It’s funny, you know—the first episode I did, which was in the second season, I had Mads kiss Hugh… almost kiss him. But not quite. Just speak in his ear. And it really had an impact. I feel like people responded to that very strongly, because it was something that was more below the surface, and it started to come out in that episode. And frequently when I see the show referenced in articles, it’s with a still from that episode.”
