What drew you to become friends?
Duhamel: "I just like her. She's a sweet person and is incredibly smart. I admire her poise, the way she carries herself. And she's really 'with it'."
Riegel: "We had a lot of scenes together, and I admire and respect him on- and off- camera. I think he's a brilliant actor. He's given me a lot of good advice from the beginning. Josh is such a fun guy --- you can't help falling for his antics."
What were your first impressions of each other?
Duhamel: "She was a lot more introverted because I didn't know her. She's somebody who takes awhile to get to know. But she's a really solid person."
Riegel: "I thought he was so much fun. He's a crazy man on-set. He's a real goofball, and I mean that in the best possible way. He always has something funny to say or a joke to tell. And he's got a great rapport with everybody on the set."
Do you ever try to make each other laugh during scenes?
Duhamel: "All the time. Today, I had a pair of underwear that I took home from the studio. They'd been bugging me about them for three weeks, and I kept forgetting to bring them back. I brought 'em back and was wearing them over my dress pants during the scene. She thought it was pretty funny."
Riegel: "He pulled his underwear out of his pocket and put it on over his pants --- and he did three scenes like that! He makes being on-set so much fun. I don't want to make it sound like he doesn't do his work; he's a professional. He has a sixth sense about when it's all right to have fun and when it's time for work. It's always a lot more interesting when Josh is around."
