“I was lucky enough to make a TV show with @MarcDworkin and some friends. This Saturday the series finale airs 😢⚔️ The process of shooting a show with sword fights, explosions and puppets that fart takes tons of time. You get to know your cast & crew like family…,” he wrote.
“The hardest part of a show ending is not getting to see those people every day,” he continued. “But the cool thing is the friendships live on long after the final ‘cut.’ We hope you’ll watch #KnightSquad this Saturday at 9pm on @Nickelodeon and see you on the next adventure. For Astoria!⚔️💚.”
