Dying for Sex's Rob Delaney and Jay Duplass Break Down the Wild Relationships

Rob Delaney is no stranger to wild scenes. Appearing in everything from Catastrophe to Bad Monkey to Deadpool & Wolverine, you’d think he’d done just about all there is to do onscreen. I can assure you that, while watching Dying for Sex, you will quickly be proven wrong. Delaney takes on a role known simply as Neighbor Guy in the eight-episode series, who begins a complicated and kinky but also surprisingly heartfelt and sweet relationship with a woman named Molly (Michelle Williams) who is, as the title of the show suggests, dying from Stage IV cancer and also interested in having a lot of intercourse after abruptly leaving her 15-year marriage. Jay Duplass takes on the role of Molly’s ex-husband, Steve, a man who has dedicated years of his life to helping Molly get better — without a lot of regard for how Molly feels about that. Steve is a complex role, as he’s simultaneously performatively selfless and deeply selfish and the show’s antagonist without feeling like a villain. This is far from the first time Duplass has taken on a messy relationship both in front of and behind the camera, as he’s known for starring in shows like Transparent and creating series like Togetherness. Collider got the chance to speak to Delaney and Duplass about their work in the series. Delaney breaks down Molly and Neighbor Guy’s “meet yuck” and the challenge of shooting Episode 7, while Duplass discusses working with Sissy Spacek and his favorite line delivery of the series, which just so happens to be from Delaney. #dyingforsex #robdelaney #jayduplass For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
