9-1-1's Ryan Guzman on How Eddie's Underwear Dance Sparks a Search for Joy


‘9-1-1’ star Ryan Guzman broke down his character Eddie’s journey to find ‘joy,’ from an underwear dance to a ‘stache shave

“It’s stepping outside of his comfort zone, allowing himself to feel uncomfortable and awkward and put himself in positions that he’d probably not want to be in previously and just taking on a new look at life, to be honest,” Guzman, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly. Guzman told Us that viewers can expect to see Eddie leaning into a more “childlike behavior” in the upcoming episodes of season 8, which will be filled with “more levity” and “a little bit more fun” for the character than what they’ve seen before. “Confessions” also sees Eddie channeling his inner Tom Cruise with an epic Risky Business-style dance — complete with Bob Seger & The SIlver Bullet Band’s “Old Time Rock and Roll,” the sock slide, and, yes, the tighty-whiteys.
