Spoiler Alert: The story contains spoilers for "Day One", Season 2, "Our Last" Episode 4, and is now streaming on Max.

There was an unexpected "Drake & Josh" and "Our Last One" on Sunday night.

Josh Peck, who also stole the attraction of Manhattan project scientist "Oppenheimer" who popped up at the beginning of HBO's latest episode "Our Last Episode." He sent a memorable monologue, then a soldier of the federal disaster response agency Janowitz, who linked his brothers by telling them a tenacious story about the detention of “votees,” a satirical nickname for the sarcastic official district residents who suffered disenfranchise.

In its disengagement from the "Last Part Two" video game, the show dates back to 2018 as soldiers from Seattle Quarantine District ride missions on the back of a narrow van. Janowitz has amused his mates by telling his mates that he stopped three voters from religious pamphlets. He recalls the backups obtained from Greenberg, a particularly violent federal soldier who apparently confused “scattered” “walking in the streets and splooging.” Janowitz said when a detainee corrected Greenberg, the officer slammed his head against the wall and shouted, “No one asked you, Gizbey!”

The story brings a raucous laugh from his comrades, except for one person: Jeffrey Wright’s stern, humorous Isaac Dixon. "Our Last Part Two" players know that Isaac is the leader of the Washington Liberation Front, who helped control the region but knows little about his past. It turns out that Isaac was a federal sergeant who betrayed his own men to help local rebels, led by Hanrahan, the character of Alanna Ubach. After their van was stopped by the blockade led by Hanrahan, Isaac escaped, greeted Hanrahan, and quickly threw the grenade into his vehicle, filled with surprised troops, locking the door behind him. Hanlahan shook hands with Isaac's hand and said, "Welcome to the battle."

Peck's light-hearted speech highlights Isaac's explosive moments, which opens the episode, but, as fans know, "Our Last Man" gets used to shocking twists and turns. Talk to it typePeck explains how he plays a role and how he humanizes his “mean” role.

Do you like video games or show season 1 before you audition?

To be honest, I'm a bit like a wivesman. So when the show first came out, knowing how big the video game was, I didn’t watch it in the beginning. Then, when I got the audition, I thought, “Let me make sure I understand.” Obviously, I know how big a huge and huge people are about the show, but I really want to make sure I match the tone of the audition. So I watched the first episode and eight hours later I watched it all. It caught me immediately. It's just an audition, like the greatest writing, and when I read the scene, I thought, "I think I know what to do." I sent it to the universe and hoped, but kind of didn't expect to hear any echoes because I don't usually get that good thing. So when I heard it was back, I was excited.

What attracted you and made you want to party?

Like most people, episode 3 is one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever seen. I have to give too much credit to a perfect show. You think of great performances from our generation, most of which are on HBO, like "Sogreats" or even shows like "Breaking Bad" and there is no character that anyone can play on the show. That's how I feel about "our last one". I immediately fell in love with every character I should fall in love with, and I hate everyone I should hate.

How do you feel now in those HBO displays that have been passed down from generation to generation?

I haven't seen it yet, so I want to believe your words. OK?

it's great. Your scene begins the episode and I immediately think, “Wait, that’s Josh Peck.”

Amazing. I'll love it when others see it on Sunday. I was lucky enough to be involved and be able to work with people like Craig Mazin, who has been a fan of me for a long time. I don't think it's a coincidence that anything I do is on the higher level, whether it's something like "Oppenheimer" or when I get the chance to work with a great cast, it makes me feel so simple because everything has been solved. There are no holes in the script. Everyone is at the top of the game and you are excited to be a part of the team.

In this usually very dark world, you have all these hilarious lines like "Jizzboy" and "Splooging". What does this tell you about your character?

War can make people say and do things they never thought of. It’s important that even if their characters are mean, you have to have empathy because otherwise I really don’t know how to humanize them. What gave me a good insight into this guy is that I had to personalize the story somehow. Obviously, nothing in my life can match something so extreme and terrible, but I can tell it to one of my friends with one of my favorite stories, which still shocked me. That's my entry point in how to personalize this and strip it from its extreme nature and just do what this guy is doing. He is talking to his colleagues, friends and telling a story that happens to be horrible. Another good entry point is that he was injured when he faced his superior Jeffrey Wright. He was like, “Hey man, this is my go-to story. Are we not on the same page?” Even if he was talking about my scope of understanding, I could make it human in a way that I could humanize.

How did you find something related to him?

I'm trying to connect this story with a real life story, which is completely benign as I've said before, and maybe just makes me laugh. He was talking about the people he wanted to save in some ways these people were bullied. Like, he was almost frustrated, or he just reached out and the guy who kept talking knew they had this crazy fellow soldier, which would make the person pay. It found these subtle humanized points so that I wouldn't look at the kid like the whole monster. He is like a partner. In my opinion, he is like a mouthpiece. He is good at placing orders and other orders. But did I ever think he would have obtained the position of Isaac? I have no idea.

How do you think of your audition, which makes you play a role?

It's very actors inside baseball, but there's a lot of things you get as an actor of my level, you're probably auditioning to play a supporting role, and that doesn't always have a lot to do. So the truth is, if I hadn't had part of it, I was frustrated before, my acting teacher looked at me and said, "Josh, this is not a small village." On some things you audition for, like some stupid program or anything else, she would say, "There are probably 20 people who can play this role." So it boils down to flavor and appearance. When you get great writing and monologues like this, you get excited as an actor because there are so many things to do when you go here. I can make many choices. I can bring myself and do the job I need. These are the auditions you best suited for because you leave everything on the table. With “Our Last Post,” the writing is so good that I immediately had a very specific view and choice about who this guy was.

Where are you shooting the scene? How many days did you do the shooting?

We shot on the streets of Vancouver and then on the audio stage. It was two days. I remember wearing the helmet, like we had enough headroom in the vehicle. The first day was all the appearance on the street and then the vehicle was shot. Then, we filmed all the stages the next day. The greatness of such a show is that you provide time and resources. They built the van so that the walls could be removed and all the angles we needed.

Finally, when you talk about him, is there a Greenberg in your life?

Oh yes, I have a Greenberg in my life and he knows who he is. You don't know him. He is a civilian and I don't want to name it. He is a wild man.
