## Resource

Lily Rabe sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about the third season of Shrinking , where her character Meg — the daughter of Harrison Ford’s Paul — finally steps further into the spotlight and into a complicated dynamic with Jason Segel’s Jimmy. Rabe discusses how the storyline grew organically from the chemistry between characters rather than long-planned “breadcrumbs,” what it’s like bouncing between the show’s emotional therapy-driven world and heavier stage work like Ibsen’s Ghosts at Lincoln Center, and why comedy actually isn’t that far from tragedy in her approach to acting. Along the way, she reflects on working with a stacked cast, going toe-to-toe with Segel’s improvisational instincts, her years in American Horror Story , and other projects including Downtown Owl, and Presumed Innocent — all while explaining why Meg remains one of the easiest characters for her to slip back into each season.
