<p id=”par-2_29″>Miller, or Liz, the meddling yet lovable next-door neighbor on <em>Shrinking</em>, praised Ford, who plays Paul, an accomplished therapist navigating Parkinson’s Disease, in an interview with <a href=”https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/shrinking-finale-christa-miller-interview-bill-lawrence-season-2-1235360876-1235360876/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Hollywood Reporter</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-3_46″>“First of all, I love Harrison—he’s also my neighbor—Harrison kills me, I’m obsessed with him,” Miller told the publication. “I love [Ford’s wife] Calista [Flockhart] as well. But he’s so funny to work with. He’s so dry and so funny, but it’s also such a pleasure.” </p>
<p id=”par-4_40″>Miller and Ford star in <em>Shrinking</em> alongside Jason Segel as Jimmy, a therapist—and Paul’s protégé—who decides to try unconventional methods with patients while grieving the death of his wife, Tia (Lilan Bowden), and raising their teenage daughter, Alice (Lukita Maxwell).</p>

<p id=”par-5_42″>“I had to do a scene with him and I was just, like, mesmerized,” Miller said of Ford. “My husband was on set that day, and he said, ‘Christa, you’re being too thirsty. You’re having a problem when you’re talking to him.’” </p>
<p id=”par-6_31″>Miller is married to Bill Lawrence, the producer and writer who co-created <em>Shrinking</em> with Segel and Brett Goldstein (Louis). Lawrence is behind other hit shows such as <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/ted-lasso/”><em>Ted Lasso</em></a> and <em>Scrubs</em>. </p>
<p id=”par-7_46″>Miller’s reaction to her husband’s critique? “I’m like, ‘Oh, sorry, my bad.’ Because he’s [Ford] so good,” the 60-year-old continued. “You just can follow him and you can forget everything that you thought about. And your performance will be good too, just to work with him.” </p>
<p id=”par-8_15″>She also shared “it’s really hard not to break” into laughter during Ford’s “comedic scenes.” </p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-a-favorite-moment-of-miller-s-in-shrinking-season-2-is-coming-soon”>A ‘favorite’ moment of Miller’s in ‘Shrinking’ Season 2 is coming soon</h2>
<p id=”par-9_40″>Get ready for one of Miller’s “favorite scenes” in <em>Shrinking</em> Season 2 when the Nov. 13 episode airs. It’s a monologue—no spoilers—that’s equal parts emotional and light-hearted delivered by Jimmy’s longtime bestie, Brian, played by <em>Ugly Betty</em> alum Michael Urie. </p>
<p id=”par-10_67″>“One of my favorite scenes—and Michael gets to do it twice—is his speech,” Miller told <a href=”https://www.tvinsider.com/1160427/shrinking-season-2-cast-harrison-ford-christa-miller-jason-segel-jessica-williams/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TV Insider</a>. “Which is a) hilarious, and b) has so much emotion going around it that he’s copping to this and vulnerable, and then it’s hysterical. When I first saw it, I had to rewind and watch it 50 times. And then he gets to do it again as funny as well.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_36″>Other <em>Shrinking</em> stars praised Urie for his monologue. “My jaw was open watching you do that,” Jessica Williams, who plays Gaby, said. When you see it come to fruition, it kills you,” Ted McGinley (Derek) added. </p>
<p id=”par-12_13″>A new episode of <em>Shrinking</em> Season 2 drops every Wednesday on <em>Apple TV</em>+. </p>
