The Hollywood Reporter asked Jason Segel a few questions about his upcoming movie, “The End of the Tour.” The first was, what was the scariest thing about playing David Foster Wallace? Segel said, “How I Met Your Mother is on TV, like, three times a day, so one of the things that was scary was the chance viewers refuse to accept me [in this role] no matter how good a job I did.” When asked, what surprised you most about your co-star Jesse Eisenberg, who plays writer David Lipsky? The star said, “That I think I found a new lifelong friend — which is not always the case in movies because it’s a very intense, compressed relationship where generally you have the best intentions to stay in touch, but you don’t.”
