\nNetflix\u2018s Big Mistakes<\/em> not only had audiences laughing but also the cast and crew during filming, especially Dan Levy and the Miami drug scene.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring a screening and Q&A on Saturday night for a special Netflix FYSEE event, the co-creator and star detailed how they brought the cocaine scene to life on screen in season one.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDoing lines and lines of cocaine was really fun,\u201d Levy joked, drawing laughter from the room. \u201cI have never done cocaine before, and actors doing bad drugs, looking like somebody who\u2019s never done drugs before, is my worst nightmare as an actor. So when we were shooting these scenes, it\u2019s like icing sugar, and I was talking to the camera department and I\u2019m like, \u2018I need you to get me doing the entire line, camera up. I want the audience to know that I actually downed this thing. I don\u2019t want to cut away. I don\u2019t want it to look like I cheated. I want you to do it and we will film it over and over and over again until you get it right.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore the Schitt\u2019s Creek<\/em> alum shared how the show\u2019s crew members helped make sure he\u2019s doing the drugs \u201cproperly\u201d on screen, he questioned if he should admit this as \u201cwe\u2019re in Netflix headquarters.\u201d He proceeded anyway, quipping, \u201cAnyway, it\u2019s fine. Everyone\u2019s having a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI said to our crew, I\u2019m like, \u2018Listen, if anyone has dabbled in drugs, I\u2019m not going to say your name. You don\u2019t have to out yourself to me. This is a free space, but if you wanna wander over to the monitors and see if I\u2019m doing this properly, pull me aside and offer some constructive criticism, that would be welcome. This is a welcome space for you. I celebrate what you do on weekends.\u2019 But I need it as an actor,\u201d Levy recalled.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSo we\u2019re shooting the scene, and a couple of people came up and they were like, \u2018Give it a bit of time like after, like once it hits you, you\u2019re gonna be feeling X, Y and Z. I think like you\u2019re glassy-eyed at this point.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018Glassy-eyed, got it, got it, got it. OK, thanks,’\u201d he continued. \u201cWe had an unbelievably generous crew, so shout-out to the crew for their generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBig Mistakes<\/em>, co-created by Levy and Rachel Sennott, centers on two directionless siblings, Nicky (Levy) and Morgan (Taylor Ortega), who are blackmailed into the world of organized crime. The series also stars Abby Quinn, Boran Kuzum, Jack Innanen, Laurie Metcalf, Jacob Gutierrez and Elizabeth Perkins.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere during the conversation, Levy also teased Big Mistakes<\/em> season two, which he\u2019s currently working on the script for.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m halfway through season two. I know what half the season looks like, and I know how it ends. I know how the show ends anyway. You have to kind of know how your series is gonna end in order to write it, I believe, especially something like this,\u201d he said, adding that season two \u201cis bigger, bolder, sexier. It\u2019s really sexy this season, everybody. It\u2019s really sexy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m thrilled. I knew exactly what I wanted,\u201d Levy continued. \u201cWe have an unbelievable room of writers who are so dedicated and so in love with the show. It is my duty as a writer and an actor to serve this unbelievable cast with dialogue and storylines that continue to push them further, continue to challenge them as actors [and] continue to pedestalize them as unbelievable talents worth paying attention to. So that\u2019s the goal, to keep raising the bar and to keep telling the story and to keep letting more and more warmth and love into the show as it\u2019s earned.\u201d<\/p>\n
