At one point, Barrymore asked for his fondest memories of his time on Will & Grace.
“You were such an icon in that show as Will’s boyfriend,” Barrymore said, to which Cannavale replied, “The nice thing about that show is that — I’m sure it’s what people felt over the years — that ensemble was so in love with each other. It was so, so kind and nice.”
From 2004 to 2006, Cannavale had a recurring role as Vince D’Angelo in the hit sitcom. His character’s relationship with Will (McCormack) was considered a milestone moment for LGBTQ+ representation on network television. His role even won him the 2005 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.
“That part was so well-written,” Cannvale told Barrymore. “They were clearly in love so it didn’t occur to me — I remember the first time we had a kiss, it wasn’t in the script. So we had just a quick kiss. I remember the audience went nuts.”
He continued, “I was like, ‘What happened?’ It didn’t occur to me that anything special happened because we were just playing two guys who were in love with each other.”
