The only thing I can tease out for you is that the core of who he is is the same. Is there any hope for Chidi and Eleanor's relationship after having his memory wiped clean last season? I'd like to work on that a little bit more. I think that's something that I've always struggled with, and a lot of people have that going on being in their heads a lot of the time.

Playing him helped me realize the importance of dealing with my own stuff and being more decisive. His inability to deal with his anxiety and make decisions though-I think I'll do the opposite. Just playing him for the last four years has really made me think about things a little more. But those are the things that I really admire about the character. He's indecisive, and sometimes that costs him and puts him at odds with other people. He's deeply invested in doing what's right. What have you come to love the most about Chidi? He's the guy that has broken the cast more than anyone else because he's just ridiculous and he does ridiculous things. There's always something that he does that is always just so odd and out-of-the-box surprising. Everybody has their moments, but I gotta say Manny breaks me every time we have a scene together. And for so many of us, it's our first big thing-something so significant culturally and something that people see or have seen. It's been super exciting working with this cast in particular. When we first got in, we were all nervous, and now it's a situation where we're no longer nervous. Working with everybody has been electric. How was the energy on set filming with everyone for the last time?
