‘Shrinking’ Star Michael Urie Talks ‘Bold Move’ Of Brian’s Connection With Brett Goldstein’s Louis


'Shrinking' star Michael Urie detailed how his Episode 6 monologue came to be and forging a bond with Brett Goldstein's character Louis.

Shrinking star Michael Urie was shocked, but excited to portray Brian’s efforts to connect with Louis (Brett Goldstein), the man who ran over Alice’s (Lukita Maxwell) mother and Jimmy’s (Jason Segel) wife Tia (Lila Bowden). Everything that these writers write is terrific, but this, in particular, for me, was a real gift to get to play so many things in one speech without stopping and opposite such an amazing actor like Lukita. Nothing writes itself, but the magic that happens, these characters are so well-formed, and with actors like Lukita and Brett, putting them in a room together and adding this Brian element, what’s funny becomes so apparent.
