I hope they do a third season. Being on that show was like being at the halftime at the NBA finals. Everyone in that room was so talented. My family at home couldn’t believe I was working with Meryl Streep.

When asked about his daily motivations as an actor, Tupper said it is about believing in a world that you create, adding: “that has always been a fascinating thing for me,” adding:
You see Robert De Niro and he just disappears right into a character, and he is complete gone, and the idea of doing that is really fascinating. It’s not your mental brain that is doing it, it’s an instinct inside of you and you are just becoming that person.
Meanwhile, James spoke to young, aspiring actors, saying, “You really need to study, train, and you need to work hard. You need to take classes and you need to put in the work. Never retire and never give up,” he added.
