JEN TULLOCK: He is such a joy to work with.

TULLOCK: I did.

That’s my recollection.

So I was surprised but delighted that they kept it in.

His first couloir.I was excited that we got to have that scene for so many reasons.

Having built that backstory without ever interacting, it was like, “Oh, my God.

We can finally hug, we can finally smile.

Frankly, we can finally wear makeup.”

Even before that,they did have a symbiotic relationship.

Devon Scout-Hale (Jen Tullock) suspicious of Mr. Milchik (Tramell Tillman) in ‘Severance’ Season 2, Episode 2.

And Ricken ticks all those boxes.

So, though he is verbose and easy to poke fun at, his heart is actually really pure.

TULLOCK: It felt natural pretty immediately.

When they were auditioning people, I came in, and Ben had me read with Adam.

That was my sort of audition.

I remember thinking, “Oh, I think we could do this together.”

He’s just so generous and warm as a human being, and that certainly extends to his work.

It’s easy, it’s really easy with him.

So we really learned on the job in that regard.

Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.

I’ve been lucky enough to spend some time with his wonderful wife and kids.

But very luckily, in this case, it’s the opposite.

It’s the easiest job in the world.

Lumon had better watch its back.

Devon has just had her baby kidnapped, or at least she thinks she’s been kidnapped.

That felt very real.

But for me, that’s the turning point.

It’s that, and it was also watching Mark have the seizure.

Why did you call Cobel?"

Severance

If that was who had the answers, I would do it, because nobody fucks with my brother.

And I think that was very much Devon’s experience, too.

It’s the only choice I have.

“So begrudgingly, she has to get Cobel on the phone.

Why is she keeping him out of their investigation?

Is she just trying to keep him out of potential danger?

TULLOCK: I think it starts as an innocent thing.

What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.

She’s like, “Wait, what?

I know you have a big ego, but really?

You’re going to write a book for them?”

Where were those scenes filmed?

Was it different from the cabins that were used in Season 1, or is it the same place?

That was a trip.

TULLOCK: He has done such an incredible job differentiating between those two characters.

He plays with such nuance and precision.

Watching it is really incredible.

There is a childlike element that he gave to his innie for obvious reasons.

Yes, we’ve met once, but he doesn’t know me.

I can’t joke with him.

He doesn’t trust me.”

The way the storylines …

I don’t know what I’m allowed to say.

I’ll just say this.You won’t be disappointed.

It’s a real banger.

TheSeveranceSeason 2 finale premieres next Friday on Apple TV+.
