Deli Boys doesn’t need to slowly ease its audience in; the bizarrely funny cold-open and the insanity that occurs in the rest of the pilot grabs them right off the bat. When you were first reading the script, what was your reaction like? Did you have any idea where things were going to go?

I remember the first time I read it, I was like, “Wow,” and then went back to page one and started reading it again. I think I read it four times that day. I was in love with every word on every page and I knew I needed to be a part of this show in any capacity. I could’ve never predicted that I would be playing one of the two leads; I’m still not sure if this is real or not!

You star in Deli Boys alongside Asif Ali, who plays your character’s brother. What was it like getting to develop their awesome sibling connection?

It was honestly VERY easy with Asif–he’s such a good energy–and the fact that he and I are on the same page about our passion for this show and our mutual willingness to go above and beyond everyone’s expectations with every aspect of the show to make sure people watch it and love it…It’s made us a lot closer. We go shopping together now, which he hates, and I love.
