we have the weddings
and the funerals and the
giant parties ... I mean,
there are times when
I can’t stand because
you stand on concrete
in those dress shoes for
hours and hours and
hours. My back locks
up and I’m just basically
like The Tin Man.”
So on long shoot-
ing days, “I just pop
a bunch of Advil and
I’m constantly trying to
stretch,” Morrow says.
“The problem with the
dress shoes is, they’re
not giving and you’re
standing on concrete.
I need to keep moving
and stretching. The ones
that are worse are the
weddings, especially
where I’m the groom. If
I’m standing on my mark for hours, that is
the death of me. I end up paying for that for
a couple of weeks. My back just gets super-
locked-up and it is excruciating.”

super-physical shows,” he points out. “I’ve
had at least a dozen times where we’ve had
stuntmen or there’s fight scenes. When I was
young, I wanted to be Tom Cruise and I want-
ed to do all my own stunts. I just thought
it was so cool. But now, I’m very aware of
how fragile my body is. I sleep wrong and I
wake up and my back is killing me all day.
I’m going, ‘I’m 34! This is starting already?’
