During the interview, he opened up about the future of his career and how it feels to have been on two of the biggest shows on TV.
On how Euphoria changed his view on himself as an actor:
“I’ve always had a profound respect for the craft of acting, but I never considered myself an artist. I could never admit it, until I started making Euphoria. That’s when I gave myself the allowance to feel like I was an artist.
On what to expect from season 3 of Euphoria:
“Listen, I don’t know anything. I haven’t seen a script. We get pages maybe a day or two before, but it’s all kept on the D.L. I just have so much trust in Sam Levinson that I don’t really need to know what’s happening. On the day, he can just tell me what to do and where to go, and I’m good with it.”
On working with Jacob Elordi:
“I work with Jacob a lot; we have profound conversations when we’re not shooting. He’s a smart, bright, intuitive actor. You can apply that across the board with this cast. Sam had a very specific idea of what he wanted, and he went out and got it. I’ve got a pretty good radar when it comes to people that are going to turn into absolute assholes. I just knew with [Jacob] that he was going to be a straight-shooter, level-headed. He’s maintained that.”
On being on Grey’s Anatomy before Euphoria:
“It is mind-bending that I have been a part of two of the shows that have been very zeitgeisty — I guess that’s a word. I love making shows that you know people are going to show up to watch. It’s rare, and it’s not lost on me.”
On how long he plans to stay on Euphoria:
“I will ride that show until the wheels fall off. I don’t know what the fate of the show is. I do know that it takes a heroic effort to put it together. If all the elements are going to be there to keep going, I would work on it as long as they’ll have me.”
On what makes his new Amazon Prime series Countdown work:
“You need a cast of characters with some chemistry, and they have to be people that you can identify with. And then you have to have a storyline that is going to allow people to want to show up the following week. Those elements are all there with Countdown.”
Countdown premieres June 25 on Amazon Prime and stars Jensen Ackles and Jessica Camacho alongside Eric. See some teaser photos from the series!
