WHEN RUAH MET OLSEN

Speaking about his role in getting Ruah and Eric together, the actor explained during an interview on "The Queen Latifah Show" that he wanted change the fact that both Ruah and Olsen were dating awful people prior to meeting each other.
“When they got together, because [David] came on to do stunts, I would say something nice about her to him and then say something to him about her. That was enough to kinda get them started in conversation and it became this wonderful relationship.”

Her husband, Olsen, is himself a successful stunt performer, admired for his roles in movies including "G-Force," "Swiss Army Man," and "The Nun."
He has also worked in several popular television shows including "Big Little Lies," "Too Old to Die Young," and "American Horror Story."
