Bobby Cannavale talks kissing Eric McCormack on Will & Grace, working as a bartender and starring with partner Rose Byrne in Ezra as they stop by the Drew Barrymore Show

Bobby Cannavale has spoken to Drew Barrymore about starring in Will & Grace.

While visiting The Drew Barrymore Show with his partner Rose Byrne on Friday to promote their new film Ezra, the actor shared one moment in particular that sent fans into a frenzy back in 2004.

“Will and Grace,” Drew Barrymore said to Bobby, who played Vince D’Angelo. “You were such an icon on that show too.”

“The nice thing about that show is that I, I’m sure people over the years felt like the ensemble was so in love with each other and they were so sweet and kind,” the 54-year-old replied.

Bobby added of his romance on the hit sitcom with star Erick McCormack’s character Will: “That part was so well written that they were clearly in love.”

Drew Barrymore posed alongside the actress and Blue Bloods star, who revealed why he found his role in Will & Grace iconic.

“It didn’t occur to me,” he continued, “I remember the first time we had a kiss it wasn’t in the script.

“And so we just had a quick kiss and I remember the crowd going crazy and I was like, what happened? It didn’t occur to me that anything special was happening because we were just playing against two guys who were in love with each other.’

Bobby had a recurring role on the NBC comedy from 2004 to 2006, and looking back, he realized his character’s relationship was a groundbreaking moment.

“At the time, I didn’t realize that hadn’t been done before,” The Watcher star admitted. ‘Now we take that for granted because we see it on television all the time. Thank God.

Drew chimed in, “I really thank that show for it.”

But before he became a Primetime Emmy winner, Bobby was a master of odd jobs, including working the front door of Limelight nightclub.

Which then prompted Drew to reveal a confession of his own.

“I went to Limelight,” she said. “I had my 10th birthday party at Limelight. And I had been going to clubs for three years at that point, I went to Studio 54, I went to Limelight, I went to Nels. I went to, you name it, I was there. What else have you done?’

“The nice thing about that show is that I, I’m sure people over the years felt that the ensemble was so in love with each other and they were so kind and gentle,” the 54-year-old replied.

And the list goes on.

“I managed a tuxedo shop,” Bobby said. ‘I worked in a framing shop. I worked in radio. “I had a morning show of sorts in Westchester County, which I kind of got into because a guy heard my voice online at McDonald’s and offered me a job at this radio station about an hour away.”

At one point, the Blue Bloods star even tried his hand behind the bar.

“I worked as a bartender at TGI Fridays,” Bobby explained. “That was during the cocktail years and yeah, listen, man, I always acted, I thought, whatever I did, I pretended I was good at it.”

But these days all he has to do is act on the big screen.

Ezra, which hits theaters on May 31, stars both Bobby and his other half Rose, 44, in the lead roles.

Although the couple, who share two sons, Rocco and Rafael, are notoriously private about their personal lives, they don’t shy away from working alongside each other.

Directed by Scandal star Tony Goldwyn, Ezra follows divorced stand-up comedian Max (Cannavale), who ventures on a “life-changing cross-country road trip” with his autistic son Ezra (William A. Fitzgerald). according to IMDb.

Meanwhile, Rose plays Max’s ex-wife, Jenna. The actress recently took some time to talk about her time on set with Bobby.

“It’s so much fun, you could talk about it and argue about it,” Rose noted during an interview with FilmWeb. ‘Always read lines together, always prepare. He and Tony had talked for many, many weeks beforehand, just talking…always about the script and these scenes and that scene, and refining the stand-up comedy and what it was.”
