RICK GLASSMAN AS WE SEE IT SERIES
Trust me, AS WE SEE IT is a great series you don’t want to miss. This is a hilarious and emotional interview you don’t want to miss! I highly recommend sharing this video with friends, family, and anyone else you know that may benefit from watching this series. Meanwhile, Chris Pang and Sosie Bacon discuss their roles that provide additional emotional support in the series. In the interview, series stars Rick Glassman, Sue Ann Pien, and Albert Rutecki share their emotional journeys of being diagnosed and living with autism as an adult while co-star Joe Mantegna and showrunner Jason Katims talk about their experiences of being parents to adults on the spectrum in real life. Jason was influenced to develop the series after realizing adults living on the spectrum hadn’t been portrayed in the mainstream media. Now ‘Parenthood’ creator Jason Katims has developed a new series about three 25-year-old adults living on the autism spectrum as they work to adapt to society. It's not like I could say to myself, ‘Gee, I wonder if this is true to form?’ because it is.”Īs We See It debuts January 21 on Amazon Prime.Autism is often not portrayed by members on the spectrum in Hollywood outside the character of Max on NBC’s ‘Parenthood’. And if nothing else, I could at least relate to it on a very personal level. It's a correct and honest portrayal of what that situation is like. “There's just as much humor as there are those un-humorous moments.
“I can honestly say our life is the same combination of things as portrayed on this show,” he explains. Similar to Katims, Mantegna also has an autistic daughter. And thought ‘okay, this is the show I want to make, this is the story I want to tell,’” he recalls. “I just watched these three episodes immediately, as soon as they were sent to me, in a row. He was already thinking about creating a show that related to autistic adults when his agent sent him the first three episodes of On the Spectrum, as they only had three translated at the time. Getting the show right was important to Katims as he has an autistic son and didn’t see a lot of media that featured neurodiverse adults. I really like working with them and we had like a really good dynamic right away,” Rutecki adds. “One of my favorite parts about working is getting intimately close with a group of people.” “We formed great connections, not only with each other but with the crew, which is one of the most important things to me,” Bacon says of the production. The show’s cast has great chemistry both on and off-screen, something that also sells the authenticity of the show. “I think a lesson that I learned filming the show, which I hope when people watch the show, is that you can become more familiar with what it means to be autistic and not be fearful of it as I was.” I haven't been exposed much to it, so I was kind of scared, to be honest,” he recalls. “I haven't been around autism much in my life. Pang, who plays Pien’s brother on the show, entered the production with some fear of his own. It really was an environment that I got to be the best actress I could possibly be because there was no sense of fear.” “I have to first build a foundation just be normal… So on the set, I didn't have to do any of that. I wrote this piece about how I'm playing a character on top of a character when I go into audition.” She explains.
“I have to usually hide all of my differences. Playing a neurodiverse character was also freeing for Pien.
