When we first started on January 8, I was pretty f—ing fragile. I’m tired, and we’re just strolling on ice,” Renner remarked. “I was drifting off to sleep. But because of it, I believe this will be the best season yet. Without a doubt, Mike is still the kind of guy you want as a friend. However, it’s more sentimental because I’m more sentimental.”
After a nearly fatal snowplow accident, Jimmy Renner said, “I guess that’s real.”
Due to a mental barrier, Renner came dangerously close to quitting the show at one point and declared he had no interest in doing any “fiction” television.
Because, guy, fiction was the last thing I wanted to do. To tell the truth, I was on the verge of pulling the trigger and making this show.” “It’s like, ‘Oh, wait, fiction doesn’t concern me!'” Words are bulls, stories are bulls, and characters are bulls. It’s all nonsense. I have to pretend to be something I’m not because these bones and these joints require me to exist in reality. I have to utter lines and sentences in a fake voice. “Man, I don’t have time to play pretend.”
