Jonathan Bailey isn’t dancing through this question.
The Fellow Travelers star—who recently earned his first Emmy nomination for his supporting role in the Showtime limited series—recently shared insight into playing a character across four decades. And this includes how he chose the prosthetic penis he wore for the show’s more intimate scenes.
“There are these beautiful sex scenes throughout,” Jonathan emphasized on Late Night With Seth Meyers Aug. 15, “which are so important.”
After noting how the scenes help set the stage for the decades-long love story between his character and Matt Bomer‘s character in the show, he shared insight into his many options, with Seth showing a NSFW picture to the audience of a set of prosthetic options, joking that they were Jonathan’s “stunt doubles.”
And that chosen prosthetic penis ended up being in it for the long haul.
“There’s so many things that change with Tim, the character that I play his,” Jonathan said, noting that while his costume and hair change, “there’s one thing that remained the same throughout.”
