Kristen Bell and Adam Brody may have starred on different teen dramas in the early mid-2000s, Gossip Girl and The O.C., but they are connected by one special actress: his wife Leighton Meester.

The veteran actor, who is receiving raves for his new Netflix series, opens up about the responsibility of playing a rabbi and why every professional should be opinionated about their work.

The actress gushed in a recent interview that there is a “palpability” to her “lightning in a bottle” connection to Brody in the Netflix show.
