Making their way to your ears are Joe Lo Truglio and Beth Dover, who star in season 2 of “The Bystanders” on Apple Podcasts. You may recognize Joe as Charles Boyle on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” or as a member of The State. Beth is likely most familiar as “Orange Is The New Black” senior MCC VP Linda Ferguson, or as a member of “Another Period.” The two play Dirk Pifler-Hyde and Alicia Hyde, a married couple. Not too much of a stretch of a role for the two as they’ve been married in real life since 2014.
We chatted with them about parasympathetic nervous systems, which Property Brother is likely more handy in an emergency, and resolving creative conflicts.
The six-episode season follows a group of flawed characters who, having witnessed a tragic incident as bystanders, find themselves kidnapped and held captive by a deranged individual. Amidst their harrowing ordeal, they are forced to rediscover the essence of true friendship, all while playing by their captor’s twisted rules.
