In July of 2018, I was in New York
City on vacation with my family
when I got a text from one of my
favorite producers, Jessica Elbaum,
asking me if I was interested in
doing a Netflix series with my
most cherished actress, Christina
Applegate. I already had another
job lined up to start in September,
and I would have usually said no,
but with a two-and-a-half-month
window and the opportunity to
work with two of my favorite people
at the same time, I couldn't refuse.
The show was Dead to Me.
