’s 25-year film and television career, he’s gone meta and played someone working in the industry , and he’s worked on a competition program . But now his latest project, “” for Fox, combines those two elements, creating a wholly different experience for the veteran actor.
Foley has stepped behind the scenes a number of times in his career, including directing episodes of “Felicity,” “Monk” and “Scandal” and executive producing “Whiskey Cavalier,” on which he also starred. But he has never been the person with the most power on set. More than his own experience as a producer — or even previously embodying someone running a set in “Scream 3” — he took traits from showrunners he has worked with to help shape his new character.
Foley admits that his former bosses “might have taken different paths with me” than his “Big Leap” character takes with his talent, specifically Gabby . As much as Nick is distanced from the contestants at the start, he and Gabby do begin to form a bond that becomes “one of the foundational relationships of the show,” according to Foley.
“They’re very open to improv,” Foley says. “We do what we can to get it [as written] and then they give us a take or two to play and try to beat it.”
