Fernandez talked to The List about his role in the new series.
“Now, my friends and I jokingly say I’m Mr. Reboot.
You got a reboot planned?
You don’t even have to ask me.
I’m the guy.
I’m going to make it work.”
Fernandez noted that he even met Peak’s mom and was “hyper-intimidated” by her.
“Because a parental relationship is not always castigating and always yelling,” Fernandez explained.
“Even though, on this show, she deserves it.
The kids are always doing outrageous things.
“It was really easy right away.
I think we instantly bought into each other,” the actor explained.
“It was funny because, since then, [they have] hung out a ton.
A lot of it has been between me and her and her mom and my wife.
The four of us went out a bunch when they first moved to New York.
It really felt like I was taking on this actual parental situation.”
I’m from here,'” he said.
“All this straight-up actual parent stuff,” he said.
That’s totally enough.'
