Not in a stereotypical way, but just in the way of, it was your uncle, it was your father, it was your best friend, it was the stoner guy, and you knew who these people were and the relationships.

“I mean, I definitely, I watched the show a lot to get the vibes of the, the family and my parents, obviously who I'm playing. I feel like we obviously get mannerisms from our parents that we are, you know, like that we, you know, you can just like tell that we're related to our parents. So I wanted to incorporate that. So I watched a lot of the show, but it was also important to me that Lea wasn't a carbon copy of Eric or Donna. So, it was hard trying to find, you know, who Lea was apart from her parents and who she was with her parents.”
