Smith then talked about how he feels working with Ben McKenzie and Donal Logue, "Donal’s just a champ. He’s a guy who’s incredibly intelligent and is so comfortable in his work and on the set." He then adds, "He exists on a set in a very special way that I hope to emulate eventually in my future, which is, he knows when to joke, he knows how to have fun, he knows when to get serious." As for Ben McKenzie, Smith says he "is a sweetheart. That’s the best word that I can put to it. He’s such a leader. He’s playing the role of the patriarch, he’s making sure everyone’s taken care of and happy, and everyone is being positive, cooperating, collaborating, promoting the show, being positive on set."
