Sprung, a quirky comedy, follows formerly incarcerated Jack who is determined to make up for his lost years by using his powers for good as he enters back into the world at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Phillip Garcia, who plays Rooster, Clare Gillies, who plays Wiggles and James Earl, who plays Melvin, recently sat for a conversation with uInterview founder Erik Meers where they discussed their favorite moments this season.
“A good [show creator] Greg Garcia comedy always has some good fart jokes,” Garcia said. “There are definitely a few Rooster fart jokes and they happen in moments where you’re not really expecting it and they kind of come out of nowhere. That’s kind of what a fart does!”
“People act like they don’t fart no more! You still fart, people!” Earl cut in jokingly.
“I just farted right now!” Garcia quipped.

In the sixth episode of Greg Garcia’s new Freevee comedy Sprung, two characters, while seemingly stealing a truck of valuable art, have a conversation about the Jimmy Buffett musical Escape to Margaritaville. The episode ends with the playing of a full song from said musical; it’s the sort of creative choice that would seem utterly random if you didn’t know that Garcia co-wrote Escape to Margaritaville.
Garcia wrote and directed every episode of Sprung and Garcia is the Rosetta Stone through which almost every second of Sprung can be understood or interpreted. Trying to figure out where you recognize a random supporting actor from? Chances are good that you remember them from a Garcia show. Scratching your head about why a comic cadence, pop-culture reference or piece of kitschy production design feels familiar? Odds are that it’s similar to something from a Garcia show.
