"Right right, because up to that point I had not been a viewer, and I didn't know alot about the show, it was all new to me and the cast members were wonderful!"
About this Quote
The subtext is an actor’s small confession about status and belonging. Not being “a viewer” reads like a gentle reversal of the usual power dynamic. Audiences imagine actors as arbiters of the material; Selby positions himself as a latecomer, a newcomer, even a little vulnerable. That humility does cultural work. It frames his experience as apprenticeship rather than entitlement, which quietly flatters the existing fanbase: you knew this world before I did.
Then he pivots to praise: “the cast members were wonderful!” That exclamation isn’t just politeness; it’s a signal of on-set survival. Entering an established show can be socially perilous, full of inside jokes, rhythms, and unspoken hierarchies. By foregrounding the warmth of the ensemble, he’s reinforcing the idea that the product viewers love is built on interpersonal chemistry, not just scripts and storylines. The misspelling “alot” and conversational sprawl add to the effect: this isn’t a curated statement, it’s an unvarnished recollection, designed to sound like gratitude instead of branding.
