    The co-creator and Coach Beard actor takes us into the pivotal Amsterdam episode, known as “Sunflowers,” which found Beard off on an unseen excursion only to return dressed like David Bowie with a pig nose (Piggy Stardust). He also lets us know if a secret script of that adventure could exist, as well as if he could ever see himself playing this character outside of the main series.

    “There are many ways you could go in this hypothetical spinoff world,” Hunt explains. “But Beard is the only character who is truly defined by his proximity to another character. So, I’m not sure that that would make sense, as much as that pains me financially to say.”

    Hunt also discusses how the coach is slowly getting closer to his real self’s personality traits, what happiness means in the show, and how they select music for the soundtrack.
