“I'm an actor on the show. So I see the nuts and bolts,” the 49-year-old stated before admitting, “sometimes [he’ll] get very mad” at what he thinks is “a bad episode” or a season he “didn't like”.

“Then about the last 20 minutes, it was just uncontrollably crying, waves of different people. Noah Schnapp being my favourite”.
“I think part of that also is the fact that these kids, it was their childhood. Like, they started the show when they were 11 and 12, and here we are reading [the finale]”.
David added, “It's 10 years later, and we examine that idea, and it's so well done and so beautiful. It's such a great episode, and it's such a great season. You guys will love it”.
