“As time goes on, I’m starting to smell something really terrible and foul, and I’m very sensitive when it comes to that,” Rick explained on the Chicks in the Office podcast when asked the reason for his scrunched-up face. “How can I help getting away from this goofy face?”
He then asked his co-stars if they could smell anything off. “I’m like, ‘Do you guys smell that?’ And they’re like, ‘No.’ So now I’m like literally by myself…And that’s what they got [on camera].”
While Meghan exited the show in 2018 before joining the royal family, Rick continued to star in the series until it ended a year later.

“How they were able to fit [Louis’ journey] that has now formed in one episode, I thought, was just really well done. I liked how they were able to do it in such a small amount of time. They were able to deal with some actual, real, existential moments, as well as ridiculous buffoonery.”
He previously shared in an interview with JT Foxx that being diagnosed with OCD as a young adult helped him go further in the entertainment industry
“I got struck with major anxiety where I would be woken up, and I felt like I was jumping out of my skin 24/7 in this nightmare,” he explained, adding that having OCD felt like “your world is impending doom around the corner every day”.
“Had I not had that happen, I never would have made it with any career. It was a real quick slingshot through life lesson to really know where you stand on this planet, which is just with everyone else,” he said.
