Veteran actor. Charming gentlemen. Part-time whistleblower?

Ted Danson has been around for a good number of years and his performances in NBC’s The Good Place and FX’s Fargo have kept him in the limelight more recently, but his tongue has proven to be slightly loose of late.

A recent post from Entertainment Weekly details how The Good Place‘s creator, Mike Schur, is very cautious around spoilers, specifically because of Danson.

The first series of the show harboured a twist ending, and Schur obviously asked all artists involved to keep details on the down-low.

He recalled: “Ted said, ‘Absolutely, of course, I completely understand, I won’t tell a soul’. And he proceeded to tell literally every single person who asked him, random strangers at cocktail parties, anyone he ran into he’d spill the entire season. And I only found out about that after the finale had wrapped. He was like, ‘Okay, I’m glad it aired because I literally told everyone that happened.’”

Replying to Schur’s ‘fond’ memory, Danson said: “I was talking to John Krasinski, because he knows [Schur] well and loves you. I went, ‘Yeah, I’m working with Mike Schur and Kristen Bell.’ When I said it takes place in the afterlife, I saw his eyes go, ‘Oh, it’s The Office in Heaven.’ And that pissed me off. I’m like, ‘No! No! See, the trick is I’m actually a demon.’ And he was suitably impressed.”

There you have it, yubi, even seasoned actors are partial to the occasional spoiler.
