Tanner Cohen (above, right), who plays Scotty, the third in the threesome between Agustin and Frank in the pilot episode of Looking, talked about filming the scene in a new interview with Gayletter:
The dynamic between a pre-existing couple is obviously something that is private, and I have had experiences where I’ve been the third party, so I tried to put myself in that position again. It’s actually a really safe position when it’s good, and it was really important for me that this story felt safe and authentic and that the emotions and the way we touched each other and moved around each other was the way real guys do. So I did draw a lot from personal experiences when we shot the scenes.
Cohen, who is gay in real-life (and not everyone in that scene is), also talks about his recommendations for meeting people:
Well, always say hi to someone that you think is cute. If you see someone around your neighborhood, always say hi to them, because there’s no harm in making a new friend. If you feel like s–t go out, don’t stay alone because you might meet somebody great. Let your friends be right in taking you out. That’s normally a time when I’m really primed to talk and meet someone is when I don’t think I am. I don’t know, as far as meeting people on the Internet, or in person, or at a bar or all that kind of thing, I have no idea. I think you need to do whatever the f–k you want. If you’re looking for sex, then look for sex. If you’re looking to find a boyfriend, then go for that. Everyone’s story is their own thing.
