The multi-hyphenate Astin is no stranger to TV viewers; he played Greg in “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” Max in “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” and Todd Eames on “Grey’s Anatomy”; his movie roles include “Pitch Perfect” and its sequel, “Pitch Perfect 2” — on Broadway, he played Georg in “Spring Awakening” . He’s also“I really loved [series creator]script for the pilot and was intrigued by the story and loved the mother/song relationship,” he said.
“I think they started writing toward me and giving me the freedom to improvise and add my own embellishments and flourishes to the scenes and to Todd’s physicality,” he said. “In the pilot, Todd wasn’t as physical as I’ve made him now, bumping into stuff, these happy little idiosyncrasies that make playing him delightful. It kind of takes on a life of its own.
“[Marcia and I] always do our homework and ask questions, like ‘What do you think [Todd and Margaret] did right before coming into this scene?’ In-between scenes we’re like, ‘What happened in the car? Why are we starting the conversation at this point?’And, with a second season on the way, Astin said that Todd will undergo some changes of his own.
“I am aware of a few new elements coming Todd’s way,” he said. “I don’t think that all of the sudden he’s going to be a businessman — he’s always Todd no matter how successful or unsuccessful he is. I think Marcia and I have done a great job of establishing the bickering and argumentative nature of Margaret and Todd — but underneath it all there’s this layer of affection and love that can withstand anything.
