How was it directing Cryer?
A dream. I could not have even imagined that my first experience of directing an episode of television was going to be working so closely with Jon Cryer, who I adore to begin with just working with him as an actor on the show. He is someone who has so much more experience than me in this business, he so knowledgeable and such a smart, intuitive actor. He does his work. He loves playing this character. I felt spoiled. I really did.
How difficult was it to edit the episode? It must have been impossible to pick between two or three takes with him.
Yeah, that was very difficult and even while we were shooting, I knew it was going to be. He plays and every take is different and when he finds the pocket of where he wants to be, he's so [focused]. He also takes direction. He is intelligent enough to really internalize anything anyone says to him and even though it was daunting to give him direction, it was so fun because he was like a lump of clay. He was so great about it. But it did make editing very difficult and I have to say the moments that we chose were for very specific reasons... he just knocked it out of the park.
