Wednesday Season 2's Fred Armisen Can't Stop Praising ‘Meticulous' Jenna Ortega
Last Updated: Wednesday Season 2's Fred Armisen Can't Stop Praising 'Meticulous' Jenna Ortega Strap: Fred Armisen will be seen playing the role of Wednesday's Uncle Fester in season 2. Jenna Ortega is coming back to our screens as the deadpan Wednesday Addams with season 2 of Netflix's modern gothic series Wednesday. With her impressive role in the series, the actress garnered positive reviews from both the audience and the critics. And not just them, Jenna's co-stars are also fans of her skills, particularly actor Fred Armisen. The 58-year-old actor and comedian, who plays Wednesday's Uncle Fester in the show, shared that he learnt an important lesson from the 22-year-old actress. While speaking with People at the Wednesday season 2, Part One World Premiere in London, he shared that Jenna inspired him to become more 'meticulous" with his acting and 'pay attention" to details. The premiere took place on July 30 at Central Hall Westminster. The SNL alum added, 'It's great watching Jenna, because she keeps track of the script in this way that she understands the logic of her character." Fred further explained that the actress doesn't just show up and start acting on the sets, but she tries to understand the reason behind each and every moment of her character. 'It's not like she just shows up and it's like, 'I'm just gonna do this character.' She's like, 'Why does this moment count? So, she's very meticulous, and it makes me want to be more like her. I'm like, 'No, I gotta […] pay attention,'" he said. While conversing with the media outlet, the comedian-actor also shared his favourite behind-the-scenes moments when they were shooting the upcoming season. He revealed a scene from Wednesday season 2, which featured fake rain and lightning, and reminded him of his childhood. 'There was a scene in the insane asylum, and it's raining, and it really felt like 'Wow. I'm really on a TV show,' you know? This fake rain and lightning and stuff, and it, it just makes me feel like if I was a little kid watching myself," he explained. When Jenna Ortega's Co-Star Steve Buscemi Called Her 'The Best' Fred isn't the only one who praised the lead actress for her talent and work ethic. Back in April, at the Family Dinner fundraising event hosted by Exploring the Arts in New York City, Steve Buscemi called Jenna 'the best". The 67-year-old actor, who is playing Principal Dort of the Nevermore Academy after the death of Principal Larissa Weems, told the aforementioned outlet, 'Oh, she's great. She's just, she's so sharp and funny and down to earth. And just a wonderful actress, a wonderful scene partner. The best." When Is Wednesday Season 2 Releasing? The new season of the Netflix show promises to be even darker and more complex than the first one. Part 1 of Wednesday season 2 will premiere on August 6 on Netflix, followed by Part 2 on September 3. Besides Jenna, season 2 will also feature Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Luis Guzman, Hunter Doohan, Isaac Ordonez, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo.
