He's so low at that moment, post that first meeting with Francis. You can take a non-narcotic pain reliever, but he knows how bad that pain is when he breaks his arm. There are ways to deal with pain when you're an alcoholic and an addict. The moment he falls off the wagon is when he takes the pill. What was the thinking behind Doug spraying the alcohol in his mouth with the syringe? Did he really view it as "medicine"? The interesting thing is that that's not the moment he falls off the wagon. I was so thankful that I had time to prepare. You're doing it exactly right." To have someone there to tell you, "Yes, that's the way that someone behaves," was so great because it gave me the freedom to be like, "OK, I know I feel like I'm being silly but this is what really happens." The preparation was long.
He would just reassure me, and just say like, "Dude, that's exactly like one of my patients. I'm so used to everything being so internalized and small with Doug. I could say to him, "Would I really like smack a doctor? Would I really just scream out of nowhere like that?" It felt so big. I was very, very grateful to have something like that. He was actually there for the whole first two episodes. In the month or two leading up to it I was able to get on the phone with him at any time. James Schumacher, one of the leading brain surgeons in the country. We had the director John Coles' good friend Dr. The whole recovery and what someone goes through when they suffer a brain injury like that. The really fortunate thing for me was that it was the first episode. Was there any special kind of preparation you did for this season? It's such a different side of Doug that we've never seen before. You're always beating yourself up as an actor.
For it to stay on him for 30 minutes or however long it was. I'm so used to seeing Doug in the way that he is, the way that it's been. Literally, last night I watched the first episode. I was very happy for it to turn out like it did. Spent a year of just being scared to death of what it was going to be and how it would turn out. What sort of reactions have you seen to the new season? Overall pretty positive. He couldn't go back to Francis and be like, "I'm here, I'm ready, everything's taken care of, we're back," unless he did that thing. With Rachel gone, does this give him the ability to 100% focus on Frank? Yeah. Rachel was sort of the symbol of all of that. Everything from the bizarre mom thing to a love figure to someone he cares deeply about to someone who tortured him… She was so many things to him and what made him so complex in many ways. She was so many things to him, however weird and bizarre and all the different things that she was to him over the course of the three seasons. But I think he's always going to carry that with him.
Do I think it's going to haunt him on the show? I don't know. Do you think killing her gives him closure? Do I think it's going to haunt him? Yeah. He knocked her out again with the chloroform, or whatever the potion he created there, and then just choked her to death until she was gone. So how did Doug do it? How did he kill Rachel? The last thing we see is him driving back towards her. I feel like I have to ask the question: Is Rachel really dead? We saw Doug, he looked dead as a door nail but he came back… Yeah.
