Hi, I'm Lachlan Watson.
I'm Guillermo Díaz.
Hi, I'm Marsha Stephanie Blake.
Yo, what's up?
I'm Asante Blackk.
I'm Peter Scanavino.
Hi, I'm Lovie Simone.
Hi, I'm Max.
And this is "Social Distance" from A to Z.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
A is for astonishing.
I think it's pretty astonishing in the way
that we pulled this off.
The letter is B. Now, B for me represents the character
from "Transformers," Bumblebee, and that
is because the writer/producer Tara Herrmann,
as an incentive for my son Leo, who plays my son on the show--
as an incentive for him to--
to say his lines, she said she was going
to buy him a Bumblebee costume.
So every day, he would ask me, where's my Bumblebee costume,
where's my bumblebee costume?
And then finally, on the last day, it showed up.
And he's pretty much not taken it off since.
C is for computers, which is how the family on "Social
Distance" communicate.
When computers first were created,
people thought, oh, it's just a fad.
But it's not a fad.
They're still with us today, and they are our friends.
D is for distance, because duh,
[CHUCKLES] we shot the whole thing from a social distance.
And I think that's pretty darn cool.
E is for--
GIRL: Etiquette!
Like, like Zoom etiquette.
I don't know what etiquette is.
No kidding.
F is for [BLEEP],, I forgot to wash
my hands after receiving my shipment of "Premier"
magazines from 1998.
G-- go and watch "Social Distance"
October 15, pretty please.
[GIGGLES]
The letter H. H makes me think of home.
Home is where the heart is.
I is for inside, which is where the characters
in "Social Distance" are living most of their lives now--
inside.
We all are.
If there's a part of your house that you're not familiar with,
I suggest you go and explore it because we're all inside.
J is for Jessica Alba.
I'm working my way through her body of work.
Tonight, I'm watching "Honey."
Still have a long ways--
long ways to go.
K is for khakis.
Me and to my dad, we had to wear these very, very hot khakis
in the blazing sun while we were moving props around and not
expanding our emotional energy during acting--
while we were acting.
So I'll never forget those khakis.
I'm pretty sure I got them my closet right here.
L is for Lachlan Watson, who also
stars in "Social Distance."
I can't wait to see their episode.
And we also share the same amazing stylist.
M is for makeup, since we all had to do our own makeup.
And I spent about an hour on mine every morning,
every single day on set.
But I got really good at winged eyeliner, so it was worth it.
N has got to stand for Nick Sandow.
Nick was the director of my episode of "Social Distance,"
and he brought me into the project.
And he was-- he was somebody that I'd
worked with once before, but it was great to work
with him on this show.
And he really helped me along and he
listened to all the frustrations, and all
the things that came up with--
with trying to do this remotely.
I didn't know how to set anything up.
I'm basically technologically illiterate,
and this kind of strained me.
So he was there for all my--
my complaints and he walked me through the process.
And I'm super grateful to Nick for bringing
me-- bringing me into this.
O-- being able to go outside, and the limitations on that.
P is for provocative or provoke.
I think that both characters-- or, both the main characters
in this episode, Corey and John, you know,
they may try to provoke each other a little bit
towards the end just because, you
know, they don't necessarily agree on, you know,
their viewpoints.
You'll see what I'm talking about
once you actually watch "Social Distance" on Netflix
on October 15.
But yeah, no, there's a little bit of provoking going on,
you know?
Q is for (YELLS) quiet!
So the letter R has got to stand for reward--
rewards.
If you want to get a four-year-old to act,
you have to give them rewards.
S-- S makes me think about sofrito, which
is sort of a Latino concoction.
It's sort of a-- kind of a base to a lot of dishes.
And it's got onions, green pepper, garlic, salt, pepper.
My parents used to actually make us sofrito sandwiches,
and they were freaking delicious.
And our episode is about a Latino family, so sofrito--
[CHUCKLES] reminds me of sofrito, the letter S.
T is for Tuck.
That was a character on "Altered Carbon."
I think Netflix canceled that show.
It was fun.
I enjoyed it.
U is for unity, yeah, because even though we shot it
over Zoom and we were all so far apart,
it really felt like we were all united together,
a big, happy family.
[CHUCKLES]
V is for vegetable.
My character Miguel, in the episodes
of "Social Distance" which I am in,
is trying to better himself.
He's meditating.
Part of bettering yourself is eating vegetables.
V is for vegetable.
W, standing for working from home.
Very different, very cool.
X-- X makes me think about a xylophone,
which is an instrument.
And in our episode, two of the family members
actually play a little tune on clarinets.
And clarinets are also a instrument.
So X reminds me of xylophone, which reminds me
of the clarinets that two of our characters play in our episode.
Y stands for YOLO.
Yeah, you only live once, man.
This was the opportunity of a lifetime.
Z is for Zoom, because I wish I had bought
their stock back in February.
And that is the alphabet according to "Social Distance."
