Bobby Cannavale has talked to Drew Barrymore about starring on Will & Grace.
While visiting The Drew Barrymore Show on Friday alongside his partner Rose Byrne to promote their new film Ezra, the actor shared one moment in particular that sent fans into a frenzy in 2004.
‘Will and Grace,’ Drew Barrymore said to Bobby, who played Vince D’Angelo. ‘You were such an icon in that show as well.’
‘The nice thing about that show is I, I’m sure it’s what people felt over the years was that ensemble was so in love with each other and they were so, so kind and nice,’ the 54-year-old replied.
Bobby added about his romance on the hit sitcom with star Erick McCormack’s character Will, ‘That part was so well written that they were clearly in love.’

Drew Barrymore struck a pose alongside the actress and the Blue Bloods star, who revealed why he found his role on Will & Grace to be iconic.
‘It didn’t occur to me,’ he continued, ‘I remember the first time we had a kiss, it wasn’t in the script.
‘And so we had just a quick kiss and I remember like the audience went nuts and, and I was like, what happened? It didn’t occur to me that anything special happened because we were just playing two guys who were in love with each other.’
Bobby had a recurring role on the NBC comedy from 2004 to 2006, and looking back, he realized that his character’s relationship was a trailblazing moment.
‘At the time, I didn’t realize that that hadn’t been done before,’ The Watcher star admitted. ‘Now we take that for granted because we see it all the time on television. Thank God.
Drew chimed in: ‘I thank that show so much for it.’
But before his days as a Primetime Emmy winner, Bobby was a master at odd jobs, including working the front door at the nightclub Limelight.
Which then prompted Drew to reveal a confession of her own.
‘I went to Limelight,’ she said. ‘I had my 10th birthday party at Limelight. And I had been going to clubs for three years at that point, I went to Studio 54, I went to Limelight, I went to Nels. I went to, you name it, I was there. What else did you do?’
‘The nice thing about that show is I, I’m sure it’s what people felt over the years was that ensemble was so in love with each other and they were so, so kind and nice,’ the 54-year-old replied
And the list goes on.
‘I managed a Tuxedo shop,’ Bobby shared. ‘I worked at a framing store. I worked on the radio. I had like a morning show, in Westchester County that I sort of fell into because a guy heard my voice online at McDonald’s and offered me a job at this radio station, like an hour away.’
At one point, the Blue Bloods star even tried his hand behind the bar.
‘I worked as a bartender at TGI Fridays,’ Bobby explained. ‘That was during like the cocktail years and, yeah, listen, man, I’ve always been acting, I was like, I was whatever I was doing, I was acting like I was good at it.’
But these days, he only has to act on the big screen.

Ezra, which hits theaters May 31, stars both Bobby and his other half Rose, 44.
Although the couple, who share two sons, Rocco and Rafael, have been notoriously private about their personal lives, they don’t shy away from working side by side.
Ezra, directed by Scandal star Tony Goldwyn, follows divorced standup comedian Max (Cannavale), who ventures on a ‘life-changing cross-country road trip’ alongside his autistic son Ezra (William A. Fitzgerald), per IMDb.
Meanwhile, Rose plays Max’s ex-wife, Jenna. The actress recently took a moment to gush about her time on set with Bobby.
‘It’s so fun, you could talk about it and discuss it,’ Rose noted during an interview with MovieWeb. ‘Always reading lines together, always preparing. Him and Tony were talking for many, many weeks beforehand, just talking… always about the script and these scenes and that scene, and refining the stand-up comedy and what it was.’
