CZUCHRY ON HIS BOND WITH PANJABI
Czuchry and Panjabi starred alongside each other until the latter left at the end of season 6. Despite the departure, the pair continued to share a close bond. Czuchry gushed about their relationship in an interview, saying:
“She’s one of my best friends. We’ve stayed in touch very closely. We talk about personal things [and] we talk about professional things. So, to have a friend like that is deeply special.”
The “Gilmore Girls” actor revealed that he and Panjabi, the first actor of Asian heritage to win an Emmy, help each other progress in their career. He recalled heartfelt conversations they had at the start of their time on “The Good Wife.”
Czuchry had no intentions of being an actor when he studied History and Political Science at the College of Charleston.
Czuchry explained that while filming season 1 and season 2 of the series, they talked a lot about how they wanted their careers to look in the future, and it seems they’ve achieved many of their dreams.
The co-stars talked about diversity with Panjabi noting that she wanted to see more people like her on-screen. This helped Czuchry see things from a different perspective and, in the long run, helped him with his lead role in the medical series, “The Resident.”
In the series, Czuchry stars as a senior resident doctor, Conrad Hawkins. The actor explained that he advocated for the impressive diversity of the cast, something that stemmed from his friendship with Panjabi.
