Summary
Today we’re recapping episode 314, “Hecking It Up,” with Sean O’Bryan (Princess Diaries, Olympus Has Fallen), who played Ron Donahue! He tells us how he didn’t have to audition for Ron, the pranks Neil Flynn pulled on set, and how it was sometimes hard to remember which fictional child belonged to him. We also put him to work as we read out lots of deleted scenes from the episode!
