Taron revealed during the interview that working with Ray was a highlight of his career, although he could tell that Ray was physically unwell at the time.

“Sometimes actors can be… we’re a weird bunch, we do weird stuff, so I thought I’d leave him to it, give him his space, and across the room he sort of caught my eye and just stood up, walked towards me in a sort of frail way,” he shared. “He’s in ailing health in the show, and he just embraced me, and we stayed that way for a little while. It was kind of weird but really nice as well.”

Taron went on, saying that Ray “was something of a hero to me, and when I read this script it’s got a very touching and really dysfunctional relationship at the heart of it.”

“We had the premiere last night, he said. “His daughter [Karsen] and fiancée [Jacy Nittolo] were there to honor him, and we really have lost one of the greats, and he’s amazing in the show. I loved, loved working with him.”
