    "You know, you do a month of therapy, you have one epiphany, and you think you've got it all figured out, and you're never going to be forlorn ever again. That was that. 'I got this, I'm good to go!'" Brad said of his character.

    Considering Brad also opened up about his own recent journey, which included quitting smoking and attending AA meetings, it definitely sounds like there's something personal about his character for him.
