Bad Monkey’s Ronald Peet Talks Crystal The Monkey and How She Made Him a Better Actor

Who could guess that one of the more experienced actors on the set of Apple TV’s new series would be a monkey? In Bill Lawrence’s Bad Monkey, we meet Driggs, a mischievous monkey who causes a headache for Vince Vaughn’s Andrew Yancy, a former police officer seeking glory by solving a murder. Alongside Driggs are the oddball locals that make Yancy’s investigation more bizarre and comical than ever in this comedy series. The show’s stellar ensemble cast also includes Michelle Monaghan (The Family Plan), L. Scott Caldwell (The Fugitive), Rob Delaney (Deadpool 2), Meredith Hagner (Search Party), Alex Moffat (Saturday Night Live), Natalie Martinez (La Promesa del Returno), and Jodie Turner-Smith (After Yang). Collider’s Steve Weintraub sits with Ronald Peet (First Reformed), who plays the role of Neville, a companion to Driggs. During their discussion, Peet reveals that the monkey who plays Driggs, Crystal, has decades of experience under her belt and grounded him during his scenes. He also talks about learning from Vaughn’s comedic skills, keeping a positive attitude during the hectic shooting schedules, and how he is inspired by the show’s ability to be entertaining while delivering important ecological messages. You can hear it all straight from Peet in the video above or follow along via the transcript below. #BadMonkey #RonaldPeet #VinceVaughn For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
