“It’s always kind of scary to make that call to any actor to play themselves,” says Canfield, particularly when “it might be a non-flattering portrayal of yourself.” But the pedigree that comes with a show that’s been nominated for 28 Emmys helps. Plus, Broderick was in good company alongside new cast membersan actor who never made it big
. “The writers have done such a good job of creating hilarious versions of Amy and Sting, and the previous seasons speak for themselves,” Canfield says. “So I feel like even with the actors who are approached to play themselves, and certainly Matthew in this case, it feels like the door is already partially open.”
