#Willa will produce and it'll be amazing

Alan Ruck on what Connor does with his time (and bonus historic penis story).

“If you judge Connor by a business world metric of any kind, he’s a moron. He’s got no game and no interest, but he reads all the time. I think he reads history and I think he reads novels that are 100 years old. I don’t think he reads anything new that he might have to form an opinion about – 'well I didn’t think it was so great' or 'I thought it was really interesting' – he wants something like Marcel Proust Remembrance of Things Past, one of the great works of all time, because people have already made that decision. They’ve already given it that value. So actually, Connor reads a lot it’s just, he just doesn’t know anything of current events.”

“I did a little historic penis research. There’s this thing in a jar that actually looks like it once belonged to a donkey. But it’s claimed to be Rasputin’s penis, and apparently Napoleon’s penis was never very impressive to begin with, but some dentist owns it in new jersey and apparently it’s like a schmeckle, it’s just like a little button of a thing. . . . I did throw that ad-lib into that episode. I was talking about how small Napoleon’s penis was but then I said, ‘but Rasputin’s penis was amazing’. I made Matthew MacFadyen giggle to the point of bending over which is kind of my mission in life.”
