You know what was the greatest moment of the whole year for me? Paul Rudd was in the booth next to Amy, because he had to pop in and do that joke about how he didn’t know how to vote for himself, and there’s ink on his hands, and he had ripped the pen off the chain. And he came up to me privately and said, instead of someone yelling, “Action, Paul!” in the middle of the scene, was there a way that he could get a silent cue? He felt like the scene was really important and kind of intense for Amy, and he didn’t want to break the tension of it or screw her up by someone going, “Go, Paul! Go now!” And I said, “Oh yeah, that’s a good idea. As a director, I should have thought of that myself.” [Laughs.] It was just so lovely that he was thinking of her at that point instead of whether he was going to be funny. It spoke incredibly highly of him as a person and as an actor. —Mike Schur on the finale of Parks and Rec, from this part of this interview (via sethdreyers)
