Lawson Hopes The NutRageous Bars Become A Running Joke In St. Denis Medical
“I think the NutRageous Bars might be his ultimate obsession.”
ScreenRant : Is Bruce ever going to give Ron all the NutRageous Bars that he ’s collected ? Maybe as a birthday present ?
Josh Lawson : No , no . If there ’s anything we cognize about Bruce it ’s that he well becomes hyper - fixate on anything , and I cerebrate the NutRageous Bars might be his ultimate fixation . I would hawk to the writers , if we have the respectable fortune of having extra time of year , to continue that plot line until the bitter end . I think that NutRageous affair goes forever .
I have it off their relationship because I feel like Bruce is so entertained by Ron . Have you guess of any other scenarios that you would like to see the two of them end up in ?
In an underfunded and understaffed Oregon hospital, a dedicated team of doctors and nurses struggles to maintain their sanity while delivering care to their patients. Set in a mockumentary style, this workplace comedy brings humor and heart to the high-stakes environment of healthcare, with a standout cast led by Wendi McLendon-Covey and David Alan Grier.
Josh Lawson : Oh , yeah . I mean , the possibilities are really dateless . I think what ’s great is that David , as Ron — he ’s just so beleaguered by Bruce ’s trick . There ’s so much to happen in the hospital , but I often imagine them in societal configurations , if ever that find . I wonder if there ’s a staff pickleball tournament or something [ laughs ] . I would love to see Bruce and Ron outside the hospital . I can only guess high jinks would result .
Lawson Wants To Make Sure His St. Denis Medical Character Is Never Intentionally Hurting People
“He does run that risk, and it’s something we talk about a lot.”
Bruce does all these ludicrous thing , but he ’s still save life . Do you think that any of his quirks actually make him a better surgeon ?
Josh Lawson : Yes . That ’s a great way of think about it . If anything , perhaps his lack of , I require to say empathy for other people , but maybe the radical ego - love that he has . It ’s possible that that kind of desensitizes him to the aroused side of dealing with patients , which is plausibly a very helpful thing when you ’re a operating surgeon .
It probably should be unemotional when you ’re saving lives . You just get down to brass tacks and just remember the training and the stage bones touch base to the articulatio genus bone . That ’s as far as I arrive in my medical breeding . But yeah , that ’s an interesting affair to consider , and I ’d love to explore more of that about how his lack of awareness , or at least his self - love , further his skill as a hurt operating surgeon .
touch on that , this character in spades has the potency to be a bad person , but then you see these gleam of depth . Do you call back his heart is in the correct place ? How are you reckon Bruce ?
Josh Lawson : Look , there have definitely been time where I matte like we make too unaired to the edge of Bruce being mean . I do n’t opine he ’s mean . And so there are a couple of times where we chatted to the writers going , " I just do n’t require it to ever come in across like Bruce is deliberately mean . " I opine he does n’t have a mint of knowingness , and so a passel of what he does can offend masses , but I do n’t think it should ever be his purpose to hurt hoi polloi .
I cerebrate he would be shocked to discover that masses do n’t like it . That in all probability cave in him a little more parallel so that his intention is not to hurt . It ’s really just kind of this delusion that he has that everyone is thinking about him at all times . It ’s a really authoritative affair to consider about in every episode , because you ’re right . He does play that risk of exposure , and it ’s something we talk about a set .
