  T.J. Linnard, who guest stars in ‘Looking’ said that the audience needs to related themselves in the show so that they would make out what’s distinct about the show.

    Another star from ‘Looking’, Raul Castillo, who plays the role of Richie, said that he hopes that even ‘Looking’ comes out to be as successful as the various shows it has been compared to, he also expresses the show comes up to what they have expected. Raul Castillo adds that ‘Looking’ is something that has never been seen in tv and it is quite different from the compared shows. He says that it is a great show and hopes that the audience loves the show and its characters like in the shows it has been compared to.

   ‘Looking’ set in the City of Bay, San Francisco, they were fortunate to make the show entirely on such a location making it a more realistic scenario. Jonathan Groff said that the city of San Francisco itself is like another character of the series and working in the city was a blast for the actors. Raul Castillo too had something to say about the shots in the city and said San Francisco was a dream city to be working in and made the show beautiful in so many ways.
