Keith and Veronicas relationship as father and daughter is so crucial to the show.

But you know what?

Its easy for an actor to come back into a role time and time again.

Poor guy, it was like a punch in the stomach to him.

So it was his way of just saying, I cant sayfuckon this show.

For me, it was a relief because I had pulled a groin muscle.

Im such a bad actor that I needed to create a real bad hip in my life.

They fought, they butted heads, as much as they loved each other.

Im glad I was reminded of that.

Isnt it ironic that its the Logan character that leads that march?

Just getting a little weepy.

Again, Keith is sacrificing his own happiness for some kind of I mean, is it still integrity?

Are they still the morals that he had or cared about 20 years earlier?

Whats the harm of having a friend like that?

But no, sometimes its just, I need somebody to talk to, and who gets me.

Had you worked with J.K. in other projects before?

I feel like youre both guys whove done roles in a lot of things.Never ever, ever, ever.

God I love working with actors who just make it about connecting and being real, you know?

Just old-time guys who just want to do good work.

He really is an outcast.

Hes not a traditional-looking hero guy, so that gave me relief.

And Im awkward, and Im offbeat, and I dont know what comes first.

Rob saw something that I couldnt see.

Fifteen years later, you go, Oh yeah.

And thats how I played it.

So yeah, that was kind of a meta sort of answer anyway.

She was 14, maybe.

Ill never forget her watching.

But it was wonderful to watch, and watch her watching me watching them.

I always loved hearing from dads, I watch the show with my daughter.

As complex as their relationship is, it is still deeply loving.Its real, man.

But am I present in my heart?

Is that what they really need?

I go, Yeah, thats what they need.

Its quality time; its not quantity.

Like, Ahh, really?

Can we call on somebody else then?

Ill play a PI, but it cant be Keith without Rob or Kristen.
