Irving and Burt looking at each other in Severance.

Christopher Walken reveals that Severance co-star John Turturro personally advocated for him to play Burt, the Department Head of Optics & Design and Turturro's romantic interest. Back with an exciting sophomore run, the psychological thriller Severance explores the unsettling implications of separating one's work and personal memories through the journey of Lumon Industries' severed employees.

I've only learned that recently, and I'm very glad to hear it. I’m glad it happened. I think one of the things about Burt and Irving has to do with Chris and John. I've known John for a very long time — 40 or 50 years. We were young actors, going around New York looking for work. I've known him a long time. He's a terrific director, and I've been in two or three of his movies. I know his family.
