On Friday, Jane Levy, star of the NBC musical comedy Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, and Quaid, whom you know from Amazon’s The Boys and also your dreams, caught up with each other on our Instagram Live show Two Friends: A Nice Time Hanging Out With People Who Know Each Other Well. The two talked about how they met while working on a pilot in which Glenn Close spat teeth at them (which, for some reason, isn’t a whole series now), Levy’s love of horror films, Quaid’s love of video games, and, eventually, The Lord of the Rings. This comes up because it turns out Quaid plays Dirhael, the main character’s son in the video game Middle-earth: Shadow of War. (Trivia fact: Kumail Nanjiani also appears in that game as an Orc.)
