We had a spoiler filled conversation with rejectedjokes about TheAfterparty finale, why he loved working with chrizmillr and philiplord, and what it’s been like filming Chris McKay’s Renfield.
The following contains major spoilers for Season 1 of The Afterparty.If you have the season finale of Chris Miller and Phil Lord’s fantastic series, The Afterparty, on Apple TV+ and wondered when Ben Schwartz found out he was going to play the killer and how often he lied to everyone he knew, you’re in the right place. That’s because shortly after seeing the awesome finale, I was able to speak with Schwartz to talk all things Afterparty.
I just spoke to Chris and Phil a little while ago. Chris told me that when he offered you the role he said you’re the killer. So, what was it like for you? Because you just touched on it. Most people don't think of you in that light. Were you like, this is the greatest role that I'm ever going to get?
Have you been paying attention online? Because I don't like learning spoilers, but Chris and Phil were telling me that there was a whole Reddit thread about people breaking down every aspect of the show. Were you going into the weeds and reading what people were saying? SCHWARTZ: Even when you and I talked, it has been so hard to lie to people or to bend the truth a bit. My dad doesn't know yet. My dad tomorrow will find out that I'm the killer. My mom and my dad, my dad is certain, it is Maggie. Certain it is the kid thinks it Brett and Zoe's kid. My mom thinks it's Walt and my agent and manager doesn't know. They don't know because Chris told me in the beginning, don't tell anybody. So literally nobody knows.
Talk a little bit about when you're filming some of the scenes. Were there specific moments where Chris gave you real specific direction in terms of, you got to pull it back here or I want you to reveal a little bit more here. SCHWARTZ: Absolutely. Steven, I love chatting with you. I think one of the things that makes it so unique is we had this incredible DP Carl Herse and every episode has his own lighting. It has his own light. Everything is different. Romantic comedy is lit like romantic comedy. Mine is these big, bright, beautiful colors. Tracy in wardrobe would take my regular jacket and line it with different cool lining.
When we spoke last time, you mentioned how ridiculously excited you were to work with Nicolas Cage because you're a super fan. I just have to ask you what the hell has it been like working him?
