Ted Danson and creator Michael Schur talked about the upcoming Netflix series 'A Man on the Inside' which tackles both humor and serious subjects. Inspired by the documentary 'The Mole Agent', the series follows retired professor Charles (Danson) who takes on a new challenge: going undercover at a retirement home to investigate a stolen family heirloom.
A Man on the Inside star Ted Danson and creator Michael Schur discussed the new Netflix series’ approach to humor and serious topics. Inspired by the documentary The Mole Agent,“Retired professor Charles feels life has nothing new in store for him. A year after his wife’s passing, he’s become stuck in his routine and grown distant from his daughter Emily . But when he spies a classified ad from private investigator Julie , he’s inspired to roll the dice on a new adventure.
Tyler Treese: Ted, I loved your performance, and what I really enjoyed seeing was Charles really just feeling so alive from being a spy. There’s a pure giddiness to your performance, and when he is learning the basics, he always feels like a kid again. How was it imbuing your performance with that aspect?: I love doing it. I mean, there’s part of me that, well, I don’t think will ever not want to be silly. Mary once said that “silly men everywhere love me because I am silly forever.
I thought, “Wow, the real trick here would be to make a series that gives you all of the same feelings.” That was always our North Star; that’s how we navigated in the writer’s room. We want people to feel the same way when they watch the show that they felt when they watched the documentary. So that meant not shying away from that stuff. We’re gonna run right at it. We’re gonna do stories about memory loss and even death and tricky relationships and what it means to get older.
