TheBear's TheMustacheMan and current DaveOnFXX star MrTravisBennett get candid about their humble beginnings at Hollister, evolving palates, and desserts galore.
From scrappy starts with Odd Future to unexpected success in Hollywood, Lionel Boyce and Travis Bennett have grown up together. The pair first stepped in front of the camera for Adult Swim sketch comedy series, when they still went by rap monikers L-Boy and Yung Taco. For Boyce, it was a point of no return.
BOYCE: Courtney, the culinary producer on the show, I would go to her house and we would make desserts, a lot of things I didn’t know existed or never tried. One time, we were making honey buns and trying out different fillings, and I was always against fruit-filled honey buns. But we found a way to make a vanilla raspberry filling, and I was like, “Damn, this is good.” So it changed my perspective.BOYCE: Yeah. As you know, I eat like a child. I ate six ingredients before the show.
BOYCE: Dude, shut the fuck up. It’s funny because I went to the L.A. County Fair last weekend and I was trying to explain that to somebody. BOYCE: It’s crazy how memory works because in my mind, that’s not what happened at all. But when you said that, I do remember having my hand in the air.BOYCE: One of my favorites was when we shot the pilot, and we all still didn’t know each other but we rented a boat on a three-day weekend. I’ve never really been on boats like that and we went out on the lake and we stopped and just swam. It was cool because I was still getting to know them.
BOYCE: He’d say, “Why the fuck are you lying to me?” I always think about it. There’s no way I saw any of this coming, because working at Hollister and playing football, my life was going into the direction of sports. I’d think of scenarios of running into you guys while you were on tour and I’m playing in that state. But I didn’t passionately believe in that either. It was passive., I was like, “Man, this is tight. I like being in front of and behind the camera.
BENNETT: That’s amazing. I never thought about it like that. With shooting a second season, did you find it hard to deal with not only fan expectations but also your own expectations? BOYCE: It’s Richie. It always was. I tell Ebon that. I love high-stakes characters. He just comes in hot, and he’s also one of the best actors.BOYCE: Dude, he’s so tight. You read the script and it’s good, and then you watch him turn it human and find jokes you would’ve never thought to do. But this is the importance of hiring a really good actor on your project because if you’re good, they make it better. And if you’re not good, then they make it good. It’s the one-liners.
