SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO: I think I had a good grasp of who he was going in.
He finds himself in financial distress, and we see how he handles that with Ray.
Also, his wife brings in her mother to live with us.
The amount of stress that this guy is under is pretty remarkable.
One of the most unexpected relationships this season is the one between Danny and his mother-in-law.
You think youll hate the two of them together, but theyre fun to watch.

What did you enjoy about that dynamic and getting to play that with Dale Dickey?
But as the season goes on, they form a relationship that may be a little bit unexpected.
I really enjoyed discovering that relationship and having a heartfelt moment outside in the backyard with her.

Charlie Sheen is also back as himself!
These guys are going to Costa Rica.
Theyre going to East L.A. to deal with a guy by the name of Condor.
Their lifestyles are very untraditional, and sometimes with untraditional, you say fuck around an infant.
It makes the show funny.
So, that happened from day one.

I just felt a comfortableness around him that definitely translated into the TV show.
We hung out outside of work.
Hes just an easy guy to like.
Follows a veteran bookie struggling to survive the impending legalization of sports gambling, increasingly unstable clients, family and co-workers.
Have the two felt very different for you?
With TV, youre like, Is this funny?
I think it is.
You have a fair amount of scenes inside of a car in this series.
Whats it like to do those scenes?
Does it feel more personal between the characters when theyre in such a confined space?
Is it ever hard not to be able to physically move around more with some of that?
MANISCALCO: I actually enjoy the car scenes because Im sitting down and not moving.
I love those scenes.
Omar J. Dorsey also talks about what he learned from his experience doing seven seasons of ‘Queen Sugar.’
MANISCALCO: And theres not even an offer from me to drive the car.
Its just accepted that, Okay, its your car.
Youre beaten up, but youre still gonna drive it.
I also really loved the moment where the two of them sing For the Love of Money.
Have you been saving that for just the right moment?
MANISCALCO: That was one of those things that we improvised.
Do you do much improvisation in this show?
MANISCALCO: That was improvised.
I remember that.I improvised that line.
But for the most part, its all written.
Theres not a lot of improv.
Its pretty much on the page.
I would love to do a Season 3.
MANISCALCO: Id like to see more of the guys from Boston.
They were really, really good.
I had a great time with them.
Rob Corddry is a series regular this season.
We see more of him, and we see him interacting with everybody.
He really becomes the bane of everyones existence.
He doesnt even have to say anything.
Just by looking at his face, you might get a chuckle or two.
