Here’s a nice long interview with Ben Schwartz about House of Lies and whether he would ever use Jean-Ralphio’s flirting techniques in real life:
I think a human being would get slapped for that. I don’t think I’d want to go out with a girl who’d want to go out with Jean-Ralphio. I don’t think I’d want to date a woman who, when I go up to her and start dancing like a crazy person and licking her neck would be like, “Oh, this is the person I’ve been looking for!â€
He also talks about how the many rejections he’s encountered in entertainment have prepared him for a role in the cutthroat universe of House of Lies. And, of course, about the real reason Jean-Ralphio’s hair was so big last season.
