Its given the show a new complexity and depth.
Its a nice tribute to him.
He was wonderful to work with, Bledel said.
Very generous and such a great presence to have on-set always.
We so miss him.
Weve missed him since we found out he had died, she said.
We, obviously, were older [than the rest of the cast].
But we were also New York actors, and we connected very well.
We always did our crossword puzzles together in the hair-and-makeup room.
That was one of our little routines.
There was a comfort level…. [Sighs] Its going to be hard without him.
