He also detailed one of his favorite scenes from filming the show, which turned out to be the end of its third season: “My favorite scene was when I was on top of the Empire State Building, but not so much because I was filming it.”
“They let me go up on the spire of the Empire State Building, where no one can go in except maintenance people or something. And it was really cool to be able to go up there. I was wearing a full tuxedo and I went up on this spire.”
