"Emmanuel Lewis was amazing to work with. I'll love that guy to the end of time"
About this Quote
The second sentence pivots from workplace endorsement to emotional allegiance: “I’ll love that guy to the end of time.” That’s deliberately outsized, almost mythic phrasing, the kind actors use when they’re protecting a memory as much as a person. It takes a relationship that may have been brief - a shoot, a guest spot, a day on a set - and frames it as lasting. In an industry built on transactional intimacy, exaggeration can be a moral statement: this wasn’t just networking.
Context matters because Emmanuel Lewis carries cultural baggage: fame as a kid, novelty, the exhausting public gaze. Nemec’s affection reads like a corrective to all that - not “he was a phenomenon,” but “he was a good guy.” The subtext is caretaking and solidarity, a reminder that behind the entertainment-product version of a person, there was a coworker who showed up and delivered. It’s also Nemec, an actor who grew up adjacent to the same machinery, quietly testifying: I saw the human, and I’m still on his side.
