Lamorne Morris recalled a special conversation he had with Max Greenfield earlier New girlthe series finale.
During an appearance on Penn Badgley's podcast, Shatteredtogether with Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari, the Saturday evening The star shared that the cast of the hit show – which also included Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson and Hannah Simone – “looked at each other like family.”
“It was actually the best time I've had in a production,” he said. “They're all so funny. Everyone is so thoughtful, kind, thoughtful and we are all still very good friends to this day.”
He continued: “Right before we finished, Max Greenfield pulls me aside and says, 'Regardless of whatever you do after this show, it doesn't get any better than this.' It was like, 'This is rare. So don't expect this, what we've been through for the last seven years.'”
And he was right, although Morris has had some “pretty interesting casts” over the years.
“New girl it was one of those experiences, and the fans are so crazy, in a good way, that I thought, 'Man, I'm going to talk about this show all day,'” the Emmy winner Fargo star said. “I'm not one of those people who really shy away from past work as long as I keep working.”
Elsewhere in the podcast, the actor looked back on his favorite episode of the hit series: the Prince episode. She explained that it was her favorite for “obvious reasons”, like hanging out with the High Priest of Pop.
“There was so much fanfare around him and so much mystique around him, and when you meet him you go, 'I understand why. This man is enlightening. And it has so many tassels and zippers,'” Morris said. “That was the most impressive part: He was so kind and soft-spoken and very kind and gentle in the way he talked to people. So it was a really interesting experience.
However, he also recalled that episode being his least favorite for other reasons. At the time, he was really struggling with his mental health and had a “wild bout of depression” which saw him randomly start crying for no reason.
“I didn't know why,” he admitted. “It hit me, and I assume it was diet related because once I cleaned up my diet, the mood changed.”
