ROMANTIC COMEDY

Jason Ritter
The son of the late John Ritter, Jason, 25, plays a youth struggling with his sexuality in the comedy-drama Happy Endings.

ON HIS LOVE SCENE WITH A GUY (RAMON DE OCAMPO)
My girlfriend [actress Marianna Palka] loves me more because I now understand the stubble problem. When I don't shave, it hurts her chin when we kiss. When I kissed Ramon, it was stubble against stubble. I was like, "This does hurt."

ON HIS LOVE SCENE WITH A WOMAN (MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL)
I was supposed to be awkward and a little nervous. She's the one saying, "Relax, leave your watch on." She led, and we were able to focus on the comedy.

ON REMEMBERING DAD
I think about him all the time. He was such a presence. If I have a question, I think, "Well, what would he say?" He prepared us to function without him and to use his knowledge to help us through life.
