‘The Comeback’s Julian Stern Reveals What He Remembers From ‘Friends’ Set With Mom Lisa Kudrow
Julian Stern makes his first TV acting appearance as an AI trainer while the episode explores how human oversight still matters, Kudrow said.
- On Sunday, Julian Stern, 27, debuted as AI troubleshooter Evan on HBO's The Comeback, marking his first professional acting role and first appearance alongside his mother, star Lisa Kudrow.
- Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King, the show's co-creator, cast Stern after recognizing he fit the role of an introverted, nerdy character perfectly. "We wrote this for you in mind. Do it," Kudrow told her son.
- Evan manages the AI-written sitcom's controversial tool for Valerie Cherish, the show's executive producer. In his first scene, he explains how the AI "hallucinated" a nonsensical script due to a technical glitch.
- Stern initially worried about separating his real-life relationship from his character while acting opposite his mother. Ultimately, he found the experience "really easy because she is so good."
- Stern, who visited his mother's Friends set as a toddler, views his new role as evidence the industry will endure. "I think he's kind of the hope that it's not fully done," Stern said of his character.
