Teddy Ray was undeniably funny.
I’m so glad I had the privilege of working with him on Pause. When we shot this we never got to speak about the scene because of social distancing. When I read the script I thought “I hope he picks me up.” He did it on the first take. A natural. pic.twitter.com/AEPbT5fpSC
