The one-two punch is what has made them successful legal eagles.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But they decide to take their act \u2013along with a paralegal (<a title=\"Dana Davis\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Dana+Davis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Dana Davis<\/a>) and a neurotic researcher (comic Kumail Nanjani) to a large law firm populated by eccentric, Eastern philosophy-oriented managing partner Stanton Infeld (<a title=\"Malcolm McDowell\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Malcolm+McDowell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Malcolm McDowell<\/a>), his annoying nephew (<a title=\"Reed Diamond\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Reed+Diamond\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Reed Diamond<\/a>), and a gorgeous attorney (<a title=\"Garcelle Beauvais\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Garcelle+Beauvais\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Garcelle Beauvais<\/a>). Within minutes of their attention-getting arrival, it\u2019s obvious the firm will never be the same.<\/p>\n<p>And within ten minutes of watching Franklin &amp; Bash, you wonder if TV lawyer shows will ever be the same. With rat-tat-tat dialogue, quirky characters (both lead and supporting) and witty pop culture references, you may think you are watching an oddball mashup of L.A. Law and a screwball comedy from the 1940s. Which is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe show lives or dies based on the characters\u2019 friendship,\u201d says Meyer, after offering the excuse of \u201ctoo much coffee\u201d for his candy-throwing antics. \u201cYou have to believe they are buddies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And you do, just as Meyer, best known as the star of the Garfield films and Robot Chicken, and Gosselaar, formerly pretty boy Zack Morris of Saved by the Bell and Detective John Clark on NYPD Blue, are.<\/p>\n<p>Did they know each other before Franklin &amp; Bash shot the LA-based pilot in Atlanta a few months ago?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe met for 10 minutes at an airport ten years ago during a layover,\u201d says the increasingly loquacious Meyer. \u201cWe talked about X-Box.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Gosselaar, \u201cWe both have similar backgrounds, and similar work ethics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both are 37 years old. Both were raised in Southern California. Both have been working steadily since they were 12 years old.<\/p>\n<p>They say the show may often seem improvised, but it is not.\u00a0 It works, they say, because of the people behind-the-scenes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe blueprint comes from (producers\/writers) Kevin Falls, who has won three Emmys for West Wing and worked on Sports Nite and Bill Chaise, who did Dirty Sexy Money, Shark and Hawthorne,\u201d relates Gosselaar. \u201cThese aren\u2019t people sitting around a frat house saying \u2018Let\u2019s bring out a beer bong\u2019 and having them do handstands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to make things look like two characters are talking. All we are doing is taking the edges off the lines, rounding the edges off of those lines. So we\u2019ll just pad things here or there. At times, it\u2019s too much. Writers are very particular about the writing. But on this show, we don\u2019t say \u2018We can\u2019t do this\u2019\u2014we always try it first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talk about the arc and the characters and where they come from. In Atlanta (during the production of the pilot), we\u2019d film all day and instead of going home to our families, we\u2019d go back to the hotel and go over the next day or two\u2019s work and embellish it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meyer\u2019s experience working on the show has been different than what he\u2019s been used to on TV before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are some things they riff on,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s a thing in the pilot where we say \u2018Would you sleep with Scarlett Johansson?\u2019 Well, first it was Taylor Swift, but that was creepy. We threw out a bunch of them (examples) and that one stuck.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are little buttons we get to play with. And when you go over it the night before, you figure out what you can riff on the next day. Since it\u2019s all being shot digitally\u2014not on film these days\u2014they can cut it easily. A lot of the friendship and banter keeps it fresh. As an actor, it\u2019s a lot interesting than saying the same words all day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another thing that is different about making a show for TNT (the show was originally slated for TBS) is that the schedule is very tight. Often, two shows are even being shot at the same time. But that can also have its advantages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe schedule is tough,\u201d says Gosselaar, who had previously worked on TNT\u2019s lawyer drama Raising the Bar with NYPD Blue creator Steven Bochco. \u201cBreckin, he wasn\u2019t used to doing nine pages a day, which we do typically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn a film script, you know what the character is going through. You know what happens in the beginning and what happens in the end. On a TV show, you\u2019re really making choices based on the pilot and you don\u2019t know what will happen down the line. So you\u2019re making choices on that, and you\u2019re not 100 percent sure how to approach something.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really enjoy TV. You see a lot of film actors doing TV now because the work is just as rewarding. There\u2019s not that stigma of being attached to TV as there was 10 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Working with his character is one of the highlights of co-starring in Franklin &amp; Bash, according to Meyer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou get to take a character into the unknown,\u201d he says. \u201cKnock on wood, if the show goes on for a bit, I have ideas where I think I know where it\u2019s going. But there is an opportunity that it goes where we don\u2019t know. They can totally change it up. It could just be called Franklin next season, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gosselaar gives Meyer a nasty glare.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things that Gosselaar and Meyer also like about the show is the guest stars and cast it has attracted. Among those making appearances in its first season are Fred Willard, Jason Alexander, James Van Der Beek, Harry Hamlin and Beau Bridges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll they had to go on was the pilot,\u201d says Gosselaar. \u201cThe list of guest stars is not only a testament to the writing, but also how the industry perceives our show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEither that or there are a lot of unemployed actors,\u201d he adds jokingly.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, getting Malcolm McDowell to play your boss is nothing to sneeze at either.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMalcolm McDowell still has the work ethic we do, which is amazing for the legend he is,\u201d states Gosselaar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah. He\u2019s 280 years old,\u201d discloses Meyer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, he\u2019s been working 200 years in this business,\u201d maintains Gosselaar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was teaching Gandalf how to act,\u201d retorts Meyer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s everything you\u2019d expect him to be,\u201d relates Gosselaar. \u201cHe\u2019s brilliant, he\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoofy and scary, too,\u201d adds Meyer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone who plays a regular role on our show does it so very well,\u201d says Gosselaar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you,\u201d adds Meyer with a smirk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breckin Meyer grabs a handful of hard candies and begins chucking them at Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who tries to swat them away with his hands.
