3: It's The Magic Number
"With Season Three I wanted to show (the guys) more in their professional settings," says Acord. He's currently neck deep in post-production work, preparing the show for its fall premiere, but with the end almost in site, and with a successful screening of the first episode at the Hot As Hell Web Series Festival in Palm Springs behind him, he can't help but anxiously await the day that everyone can see what he and his team have been working so hard on.
Seasons One and Two may have been about getting to know the Old Dogs and what it is exactly that makes them tick, but these next 8 episodes, according to the writer, "will explore how each man is also defined by his chosen profession." That means fans will get a chance to see Nathan in his element, especially during a Howard Hawks-worthy office scene involving Acord, Hart, Gari, and newcomer, Rutanya Alda, that is destined to be an ODNT classic (The Mommie Dearest star, who is based in NYC, happily agreed to be part of the series because of the "universal questions" that it raises about life and love and sex, and calls the experience "great.")
They can also expect to see another side of Brad King this season, after an unforeseen crisis forces the one-time musician to finally examine his aptitude for anything other than penis-play. For his part, Bonnem relished the chance to "expose another layer of the character"-- as did Olson, whose Muscles goes through a bit of his own existential crisis when confronted with the very real concept of beauty being in the eye of the beholder. And Ross... well, let's just say that his professional woes are what brings out the beast in Nathan, not to mention the comedy pro in David Pevsner, who even has a scene opposite Absolutely Fabulous star and improv legend, Mo Gaffney. (According to Pevsner, "(Gaffney's) so damn funny. It was great to be the straight man to her... no pun intended.")
