with Elisabeth Moss —<br />
my wife knows not really<br />
to be threatened. Because<br />
there’snorealchancethat<br />
in real life they’d ever<br />
go for someone like me.<br />
(chuckles.)<br />
Newsday: Nawww. . .<br />
Duplass: So it’s fine on<br />
that front. And it’s not like<br />
therearefourorfivelovemakingscenesyouhaveto<br />
contend with. If we were<br />
making “Nymphomaniac I”<br />
and“II”withOliviaWilde,<br />
itmightbedifferent.<br />
Newsday: Well, maybe<br />
you and your brother should<br />
make those films.<br />
Duplass: Yeah, totally.<br />
You know, Olivia’s not only<br />
fantasticinthis,she’san<br />
incredibly smart and interesting<br />
person, much more so<br />
than she needs to be based<br />
onhowgood-lookingsheis.<br />
Hermotheristhisworldfamous<br />
renegade reporter,<br />
so Olivia’s been raised by<br />
people who are very consciousoftheworld.Soitwas<br />
fun—weconnectedonalot<br />
of levels.<br />
Newsday: Did the story<br />
line here spur any intense<br />
or serious conversations<br />
on set about ... whether or<br />
notthere’saheavenorhell?<br />
Orifweshouldtrytobring<br />
people back from the dead?<br />
Duplass: No. One thing<br />
interesting that happens<br />
on film sets, in my experience,isthatifthematerial<br />
you’reworkingonisheavier<br />
or intense, the off-set conversations<br />
become all the<br />
more loose and light and<br />
funny.Onthesetof“Dumb<br />
andDumberTo,”you’dfind<br />
more existential conversations<br />
happening, to counterbalance<br />
that material. On<br />
the set of “Lazarus,” you’d<br />
find us, uh ... farting around<br />
and telling jokes.<br />
Newsday: How was it<br />
to memorize the scientific<br />
jargon?<br />
Duplass: Alotoftimes,<br />
actors get overly serious<br />
talking about science, like<br />
whenever you say anything<br />
with four syllables — they<br />
getallformaland“scientific.”Ouraimwastoremain<br />
really normal — we’re normalpeoplegoingthrough<br />
something extraordinary.<br />
All the doctors I know,<br />
when talking about serious<br />
things, seem ... themselves,<br />
like they do when they talk<br />
about football.<br />
Newsday: Many congrats,<br />
by the way, about<br />
“Togetherness,” on HBO.<br />
It’s just been renewed for a<br />
second season.<br />
Duplass: Yeah.Veryexcited.<br />
Newsday: What’s it been<br />
like,goingfromfilmtoTV<br />
work?<br />
Duplass: The initial<br />
challenge was just getting<br />
educatedandgoodatthe<br />
longer form of storytelling.<br />
JayandIneededabitofa<br />
learning curve on that.<br />
Newsday: What did you<br />
do?<br />
Duplass: We’ve watched<br />
alotofTV.Andeventhough<br />
Jay and I write every episode,wehaveawriterscollaborative,fourorfivevery<br />
experienced people who<br />
read our scripts and give us<br />
notes. I think a lot of artists<br />
areeitherthreatenedbythat<br />
or miss out on it. They worry<br />
their vision will be diluted.Butwe’reveryawareof<br />
our own limitations. So we<br />
don’t have a problem with<br />
that.<br />
Newsday: It’s tough at<br />
anyage,butwhyarethe<br />
characters on “Togetherness”<br />
finding their 30s so<br />
challenging?<br />
Duplass: Ican’tspeak<br />
foreveryonewho’s30.But<br />
whatIwillsay...isthatit<br />
canbereallyeasyifyou<br />
are just looking out for<br />
yourself and the things<br />

people do really well. But<br />
if you’re trying to be a good<br />
spouse,agoodfriend,parent,child,agoodmember<br />
of your community, and<br />
stilltakecareofyourself<br />
and your own personal<br />

impossible task, in my<br />
opinion.That’stheworld<br />
