Season 2 of Nobody Wants This featured several notable guest appearances, but one pair of actors in particular kept Adam Brody on his toes.
The actor praised the “very funny and talented” Seth Rogen‘s performance as Rabbi Neil in Season 2, now available to stream on Netflix, as well as Kate Berlant‘s portrayal of his wife Rabbi Cami after the pair “went way off-script” for the show.
“He just let it rip,” he told People of Rogen. “He and Kate Berlant, who I’m also a huge fan of, just went way off-script, and I just got to buckle up and hang on, and yeah, that was a dynamic.”
Brody added, “Fortunately, that was the dynamic on the page too, in those scenes, Noah’s more of a bystander.”
Explaining that Rabbi Neil is a “rock and roll rabbi” to his character’s “more buttoned-up one,” Brody’s Noah interviews for a job with the couple’s temple.
“He’s incredibly gregarious, and he’s identifiably Jewish, which is important. Listen, he’d be great to have in any way, shape or form,” said Brody of Rogen, adding: “I think he’s just a great fit.”
Created by Erin Foster and inspired by her own marriage, Nobody Wants This stars Brody as Rabbi Noah, who makes waves in his Jewish family when he sparks a romance with sex and relationship podcaster Joanne (Kristen Bell), a Gentile.
