Actor Jason Segel shared his thoughts on the potential fate of his character, Nick, from the cult classic TV series 'Freaks and Geeks'. Segel believes Nick, a struggling teenager with a passion for music, likely would have been sent to war during that era and didn't survive. Segel discussed this during an interview about the show's legacy and the circumstances surrounding its finale.
. When asked where he thinks the pot-loving, Zeppelin-worshipping kid from Chippewa, Mich., is today, the actor had a thought-out — but very sad — answer.
"In my mind, he gets sent off to war and doesn't make it," Segel said. "That was always like the threat looming for Nick, and that's what happens to a lot of men of that generation and socioeconomic status. That's always how I was thinking of playing him. For Nick, the desperation in his character is that the alternative is not making it. That's how he felt, like, 'I'm gonna drum my way out of this.
The series — which lasted only one season but later became a cult classic — actually ended with Nick revealing his love of disco and disco dancing. In the interview, Segel revealed thatdecided to shoot that episode,"Dungeons and Disco," halfway through the season because they believed the show could be canceled at any time."We started to notice that the craft services table was really dwindling. At first, it was like beautiful cold cuts and all the stuff you would want.
