The first time Seth Rogen met Ike Barinholtz he thought the fellow comedic actor was nothing more than Danny McBride’s assistant.
Rogen and Barinholtz revealed as much during a Sirius XM Town Hall interview with “Real Housewives” producer Andy Cohen on Wednesday. According to both men, who co-star right now in the Apple TV+ comedy series “The Studio,” they met under unlikely circumstances years ago when they were both in North Carolina at the same time.
“I was shooting ‘Eastbound & Down’ with Danny McBride, and he called me and was like, ‘Hey, do you know Seth Rogen?’ I was like, ‘I know who he is,’” Barinholtz recalled.
