“Well, Willie, he’s in the first three episodes and he’s so alive and brilliant and hilarious in this. And it was a real shock,” Cantone said. “None of us knew, and it was just, it was terrible. It was very sad. And he was an incredible father to his son, Nathen, that’s all he talked about was Nathen. He just loved him very much. And you know, Nathen is 18-years-old.”
“We lived on separate coasts, so I didn’t see him a lot, but every time we did a benefit together, or like we did a couple of readings on Zoom, during COVID we were zooming. We were always like texting each other talking s**t. But I miss him, he made me laugh so hard and he was a great TV husband.”

“Oh God, he was loved,” Cantone said. “And he was brilliant and hilarious and just, he was everything. I miss him a lot.”
