Fox made news by making a show about the Army that people actually want to watch. The network's military comedy series Enlisted written by creator Kevin Biegel, almost seems custom made to suit their individual characters. Chris Lowell says that he and Parker Young feel as close as brothers with Geoff Stults when they are on the set. Keith David loves his part on the show, and even if the rave reviews dried up would still love "busting b---s" on the show.
No job seems like hard work when you are having fun, and thanks to Kevin Biegel's spot on comedy vision, that is exactly what the cast of Fox's Enlisted are doing--having fun.
Chris Lowell who plays Cpl. Derrick Hill on the show told Zap 2 It that Biegel's vision was intuitive, that the actors sometimes lost themselves in their series characters:
"Kevin had this pipe dream of what he wanted the chemistry to look like. He created these archetypes that he was hoping these actors would fall into, and then when the three of us first got together, it was just frightening how quickly we just adopted those roles.
"We quickly transcended our lines and became who we were with each other all the time. Being on set is almost like being stuck in a house when you're growing up with your brothers. Oftentimes, they're driving me freaking crazy, and I just want to drop-kick them in the teeth.
"Then other times, I feel such a love and connection for them, it almost sneaks up on me. Why am I feeling sympathy for these people? I can't stand these people. Oh, yeah, I actually love them deeply. It drives me crazy, but I do. There's a lot of that going on inside my head."
Keith David told Assignment X in an interview that the faux conflict on the set was his favorite thing about his job:
"I love [my character], because he's got a great, dry sense of humor, but he's a no-nonsense guy.
"We take what we do here very seriously. I love busting Geoff's [character's] balls, because he thinks that this is for punks, he thinks this is for guys who can't cut the mustard."
Enlisted airs Fridays at 9 p.m. on Fox.
