I went to Steven and said, I dont know what to do.
He told me, Dont worry about it.

Well work it out.
And he said, Easy squeezy.
No matter what happens you have a friend in me.
He was so supportive of me and really championed me making the film and accommodating me in every way.
At the time, the show got incredible reviews but about seven people watched it.
But it got me my first Emmy nomination, which, to me, came out of nowhere.
I had no idea that would happen.
It was so exciting and Steven was a big part of that, says Tucci.
I still always get it, and I think of him every time.
