Los Angeles: Ray Romano recently opened up about his role in the new Netflix series, No Good Deed. He had some worries about how to mix comedy with emotional moments. It’s a tricky balance, and he wanted to make sure they didn’t lose the serious stakes for the sake of laughs.
In the show, Romano plays Paul Morgan, alongside Lisa Kudrow, who portrays his wife, Lydia. Their characters are dealing with heavy themes, like loss and family struggles, while also trying to keep things light. Romano mentioned that he and Kudrow were both concerned about maintaining that balance.
He pointed out that the show can shift from a funny scene, like buying cocaine from a pet groomer, to a heartfelt moment when Lydia plays the piano. Romano said that the awkwardness and fear in those scenes felt very real, which made it easier to navigate the different tones.
Kudrow also chimed in, saying she loved working with Luke Wilson, who plays JD. Their scenes together brought a sweetness that added depth to the story. Romano and Kudrow both agreed that the emotional moments were just as important as the comedic ones.
Feldman, the show’s creator, has a knack for creating complex characters and engaging mysteries. She believes that the mix of humor and drama is what makes the show unique. Romano and the cast are excited to see how audiences respond to this blend of tones.
