I finally get to leave the worst job in history. Bad pay, evil boss. Oh, before you go, any suggestions on what nice thing I can say to Fat Rob in accounting? No more office that thinks being eco-friendly means having only one toilet. A break room you can't even take a break in.
I'm here on the set of Kevin from Work with the man himself, Kevin. Hey, Noah.
Yeah.
Noah. That's right. Kevin. Yeah. Kevin from Work. Noah plays Kevin. You are two people.
Yeah. But two people. Yeah, on a good day. On a good day.
Then there's Audrey. Audrey P. C. Koshki. She is perfect. Everything she does and says, How she smiles and laughs.
I'm joined by Paige Spera. Who's there? I'm in Kevin's cubicle, and this is Audrey's.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi. We're not meant to see each other.
No. We're not meant to.
I'm gonna sit back down.
Yeah, you should sit back down. Okay.
The premise of the show is he screws up quite badly when he writes a lovely lady a letter.
Yeah, I mean, depending on your perspective. I mean, some people would be like, oh, you really, like, you were really honest with the woman that you, that you
That doesn't exist anymore. No, we're not supposed to do that. We're supposed to be a little bit careful about what you meant to play hard to get.
what you communicate.
Yeah. Yeah. Kevin falls in love with you, doesn't he?
Yes. Yeah, he does. He falls in love with Audrey.
And he writes you a letter. What, what would you say should be in a letter if someone was to write you a letter?
I would like them to say really, really, you know, honest thoughts of how they feel. Graphic. Yeah, very, very graphic. But you know, nothing mushy, but just very honest.
Roxy, I'm, I'm feeling weird about leaving you. I mean, you're a little too immature to be out here on your own. You can't believe mama's okay with this. I am very mature. Okay? And when mama realizes I'm not my room, I'll text her for sure.
You're Kevin's sister in the show?
Yes. I play Roxy, Kevin's crazy party girl, fun sister.
Right. You're roommates with Kevin, Roxy's roommates with Kevin as well. It's interesting.
Well, she's roommates. She kind of kicks him out in a sense. I mean, she takes his bedroom and makes him sleep in the living room. That's just who she is. A demanding woman.
Mhm. I know that. She's a woman who does what she likes. And takes it.
Yes. I think there's like a lot of self-discovery in store for her, even if it's like on a very subconscious level and she doesn't realize it's happening.
Right.
Brian, Brian, I got it. Got what? The new job that I applied for in Italy. I got it. Congratulations, man. I knew it. Didn't I tell you? You think positive, you test positive. Preach that to all my clients.
On the show, you're a trainer. This is, this works perfect.
Yeah. This works perfect.
And Kevin's best friend. His ultimate best friend.
I'm his, I'm his idol. Not idol.
Did you make this up or is it true?
It's real. Uh, it's, it's just put in different words by me. Okay. You know, I had to zone in on my character and I'm serious about it. So, uh, I, he's, I'm his soulmate.
That's great. That's great. Everyone needs a soulmate.
So here at Superior Foods and Beverages. Okay. Uh, we deal in foods and beverages. Nectarines, plums, uh, grapes, strawberries, oranges, apples, and blackberries. If, if you were one of these fruits, what fruit would you be?
I don't know what you're saying.
This is, this is the office. Amazing, amazing. This is where Kevin works.
This is where Kevin works. He tries, he tries to leave and doesn't end up leaving. He never leaves.
I come here though. You do come here. Every, every character kind of comes here at one point, right?
Yes. Okay. Not as much as me though.
Right. Except for the people who work here, but. Why is that when you're a trainer?
Well, um, I, I have superior power at Superior Food and Beverage. It is. I put the name there because they're like, Brian's always here. Let's put it superior because we have a superior. My desk is over here.
This is your desk.
Yeah, other people sit at these desks.
Who owns this desk? So they're not as good as.
That's Ricky's desk.
This is Ricky's. He likes toys.
Ricky, that is not your business. Sorry, boss. Like urine with a dash of hummus or something. There's a real bad smell over at Dryers and Oh, that is so gross, Ricky. These are my, this is like where I think Salt and Pepper Kevin lands somewhere in between the pawn and the king. Please don't touch my friends. You're not my boss. You can't fire me. I am your boss.
We're sitting in the boss's office. This is the boss's office. And between what, sorry?
Upwards between the pawn and the king. You know, probably a little closer to the center. So that's the porn king. A porn, a porn king.
The way that you say that in your accent makes it sound like something else. It's superior, this office. I feel, I feel it's superior. Very superior. I feel it is. What is Superior Food and Beverage? What is, what is your superior? Just ignore him. Ignore him. What's the strangest job you've ever had? Have you had any strange weird jobs growing up?
Well, the only, I've basically only ever had acting jobs. I've been acting since I was a kid. But I, I for one summer, I worked in the parking lot, uh, at the Roger's Cup, uh, tennis tournament in Toronto. And, uh, it was our job to get the VIP customers into their kind of parking lot, and then, uh, you know, and then get them in a golf cart to the tournament. People wanted to get into our VIP parking lot. So we ended up just kind of selling, uh, VIP parking passes for like 20 bucks a shot.
Oh, wow. So you're making cash on the side.
Yeah, I I don't care about this. I'm not getting fired from the Roger's Cup. That was like 10 years ago.
Right. How is it working with McG? He is so passionate about you.
Yes. And me. And you. Yes. He's just so passionate about his work and the story. I feel so safe walking onto set knowing he's the director that day.
Rock has his big tournament tonight. It's regionals, or is it semi-regionals? Or is it semi-final regionals? Is there such a thing as regional regionals? No, that would be weird. So devoted. Craftworks Gastropub and The Bus Bar. 6:00, it's gonna be epic, especially if we can get a booth by the air conditioner.
He allows me to get there on my own, but then he just will sprinkle on all these different colors and ways and perspectives I would never have thought, and it's just, I just I learn so much from McG. McG, he is he knows what his actors want and what we need, even when we don't know that we need him. He gives us a lot of freedom to do different things. Uh, collaborate, like it's all about collaboration.
Has there been a favorite moment for you so far in filming that sticks out?
I mean, I don't even know if I could pinpoint one. I mean, this this cast is like unbelievable. It's it's the best people I've ever worked with.
Cut. Good. I can feel it. Like worlds apart, right? I can feel that. I love you. Yeah, and I love you. So this is You wanna go out for dinner? Maybe it's the desks that hold the power. You know, because I just felt a real from someone's desk really quick. Felt a real connection. And this is my globe. So great segue. Yeah, thanks. So nervous. Just grab the globe. You're my world. That's quick. No, it's good. That's quick. You're my world.
