Dean Norris, who plays Elliots brother, Randall, is no stranger to gritty and intense.
It seems like there’s maybe some initial awkwardness, but it quickly becomes quite natural between them.
DEAN NORRIS: Oh, I love that scene so much.

Chris Meloni wrote that scene.
He wrote that episode.
I have a restaurant in California, Temecula, called the Swing Inn Cafe.

Hey, baby you want some brisket?
You want to try my brisket?
I make the best brisket.
I just thought it was funny and doing it literally over the comatose body of his brother.
I think he said something like, Yeah, I think he told me something about you.
And she’s so great such a legend to work with.
There’s been all these lies, and things have been kept secret all this different stuff.
It’s a very dysfunctional family, although they love each other.
I think Randall’s just hurting and really wants to let out all that he’s been pushing under.
I know that you mentioned that Chris actually wrote that episode.
What is that experience like acting with him on something that he worked on in that way?
Does that sort of change the experience of it at all for you?
NORRIS: You know, we did a movie together.
We’ve known each other for about 10 years.
So it’s more just the chemistry of he and I together.
He knows where those come from, and that part of it was fine and fun.
NORRIS: I wouldn’t mind directing.
I don’t know.
I don’t think I’m a writer.
I can write scenes, but it’s hard for me to write.
Let people who are much better than me do it.
I think you’re not giving yourself enough credit.
I think you would be great at it, but fair enough.
Maybe directing is the path for you.
NORRIS: That’s a little different.
Because it is sort of a big thing that seems to be maybe shifting their dynamic a bit.
Its a really interesting dynamic that we get to explore and we explore throughout this season.
His brother’s back in his life.
