[<em>Laughs<\/em>] The real answer is yes, pouting and perseverance. No, when the show got picked up, I had told Meredith Jacobs, TV Insider DJ [Nash] in 2018 that I had real designs on directing and it was something I would love to do and there is no reason that he of course would need to give me an episode, but just told him that as an FYI that is something I want to include in my life. It\u2019s been a passion of mine since I was a little kid and DJ was just extraordinarily giving and decided to take a risk on both me and Allison Miller. Her debut was phenomenal and she\u2019s just so well-suited to the position. This wasn\u2019t my first directing job, I did one on <em>Grimm<\/em> and I absolutely loved it. You get to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciate each department on a much deeper level, and I absolutely love it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Obviously they\u2019re very different shows, but is there that came in handy here from directing an episode of <em>Grimm<\/em> other than <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> directing experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, all of these shows rely on the moments between the characters. We can do an action show, a genre show, a procedural, or what we have is kind of an ensemble drama, but it all hinges on the moments, and so I just think finding what the scene is about and really trying to sort of pull that and highlight that in the scene is the most important thing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1043129\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1043129\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1043129\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-sophie-854x570.jpg\" alt=\"Lizzy Greene as Sophie in A Million Little Things\" width=\"854\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-sophie-854x570.jpg 854w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-sophie-433x289.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-sophie-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-sophie-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-sophie-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-sophie.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1043129\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ABC\/Darko Sikman<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Preview the episode. Who is facing the biggest challenge?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have this wonderful recurring guest actor, Ash Spencer, who came in and he did a phenomenal job. He [plays] a high school student in a fairly conservative or at least upper crust high school who is coming out as transgender and wants to be referred to as Maddox instead of Madison. I think that storyline was particularly poignant and when I saw the actors perform, I was like, \u201cOh wow, this is going to really land well.\u201d And he did a great job, as did Romany Malco. I would also say Lizzy Greene had a great challenge to overcome in this episode where we as viewers have seen Sophie sort of find her own agency after being abused sexually. She put herself out there and sent out a message on a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> site asking if there are any survivors of some of Peter\u2019s [Andrew Leeds] behavior, and I think for her, that was an enormous challenge. And we as viewers love watching her really become a woman and a grown-up and stand on her own two feet, really empowered. It was beautiful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019ve watched her grow up, and she\u2019s come so far from smashing Eddie\u2019s guitars.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<em>Laughs<\/em>] Well, Eddie gives her fewer things to smash guitars about now, so he\u2019s grown, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did this episode challenge you as a director?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was given an incredible opportunity and I did not want to waste it. I was given a wonderful script, written by Geoffrey Nauffts and David Marshall Grant, and I just wanted to do it service. I didn\u2019t want to leave anything on the field as it were. I felt like I had a lot to prove in a way. I just didn\u2019t want to do any of my friends and colleagues wrong, so I put a lot of pressure on myself and I think that anxiety is important when you\u2019re stepping into a new work position because it forced me, at least, to double, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>le, quadruple prepare and hopefully I didn\u2019t botch the job too much. I think it\u2019s a beautiful episode.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1043127\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1043127\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1043127\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-anna-eddie-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"Erin Karpluk as Anna, David Giuntoli as Eddie in A Million Little Things\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-anna-eddie-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-anna-eddie-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-anna-eddie-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-anna-eddie-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-anna-eddie-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/a-million-little-things-anna-eddie.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1043127\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ABC\/Darko Sikman<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>How are Eddie and Anna (Erin Karpluk) doing? There\u2019s the matter of her drinking, lying about where she was the day Peter died\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We all know he\u2019s been through a lot and we all know he\u2019s not been the best guy, and he finally found a partner in a relationship based on people being grown-ups, and there are red flags in this relationship. But he\u2019s been through recovery already, and I think he\u2019s really trying to give Anna the benefit of the doubt and do for her what the best of his friends did for him when he was struggling. I think Eddie realizes that the loss of a spouse and a marriage and the life of an ex-spouse is a very turbulent thing to endure, and so he is rather forgiving when he finds out she was lying to him and drinking and all of that. So he loves her, he wants what\u2019s best for her, and he wants to show up for her in ways that he never did for Katherine [Grace Park].<\/p>\n<p><strong>And how about Eddie and Katherine? They\u2019ve really settled into being friends and may be the most amicable we\u2019ve ever seen them. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<em>Laughs<\/em>] They\u2019re really crushing post-divorce. That\u2019s the best part of their relationship. We have gotten such a nice response from people regarding this aforementioned amicability that happened post-divorce. I think people really want to see our characters be grown-ups and support each other and that\u2019s extraordinarily hard to do in real life but it does at least put this north star out there for people to be like, \u201cOK, maybe this is how, best-case scenario, we can do it. Put the son first. Put our friendship first.\u201d I know Eddie still has feelings, good and bad, and I\u2019m sure Katherine does too, but they are supporting each other, for the good of their son ultimately. I don\u2019t think the friendship would necessary be so active had they not been sharing Theo [Tristan Byon].<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m really enjoying Eddie and Greta\u2019s dynamic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I love Cameron Esposito. She came onto the show, and I said, \u201cListen, Cameron, you\u2019re clearly merging into my jawline lane and my hair lane, so let\u2019s just make good, let\u2019s be friends. I don\u2019t want to be too intimidated by you.\u201d And we\u2019ve hit it off. I do love Eddie and Greta\u2019s sort of bro-y relationship and how it sort of amuses Katherine but also a little bit grosses her out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DJ and Allison directed recent episodes. Is there anything you can share about conversations you had with either of them or anything you specifically kept an eye on during their episodes?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Everybody was so incredibly supportive and they lived what I was about to live just before I did it, so they were extraordinarily giving with any kind of potential landmines, things that they didn\u2019t think of, things that they found particularly tricky or just even words of encouragement, like \u201cHey, you\u2019re as prepared as you can possibly be, you\u2019re going to crush it.\u201d It was really wonderful, like the three amigos, quite lovely.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>A Million Little Things<\/em>, Wednesdays, 10\/9c, ABC<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
