The nominated actor shares his experience filming "The Kominsky Method." He says that doing the third season in the absence of his best friend Alan Arkin, who played Norman Newlander on the series, was quite challenging.

He, however, says that despite his absence, Arkin did so much for the show. Douglas, who played Sandy Kominsky, says that Arkin is excellent on his delivery and a generally pleasant person.

Turner was excited about doing a project together again, saying it felt like slipping on an old shoe, which she said felt like one of her favorite things.

Douglas, who has come to warm the hearts of his viewers over the years, shares a little about himself, saying that one of the first and best pieces of advice he's received from his father was how to listen.

He says that most actors are often waiting for their chance to speak, never truly listening, adding listening is always the important part and that it was a lesson well learned.

He also opens up about the movies that have made him cry. One was " Lust for Life", which had a scene with his father cutting off his ear, "Lili", which starred Leslie Cameron, and "Two for the Road" with Albert Finney.
