According to a recent report, actor Fred Armisen has learned an important lesson from his co-star Jenna Ortega while filming the second season of the Netflix series "Wednesday." Armisen, who plays the role of Uncle Fester on the show, spoke about his experience working with the 22-year-old actress during the season 2, Part One World Premiere in London on July 30.

The former "Saturday Night Live" cast member shared that Ortega's meticulous approach to her character has inspired him to be more attentive and detail-oriented in his own performance. "It's great watching Jenna, because she keeps track of the script in this way that she understands the logic of her character," Armisen explained. "It's not like she just shows up and it's like, 'I'm just gonna do this character.' She's like, 'Why does this moment count?' So she's very meticulous, and it makes me want to be more like her. I'm like, 'No, I gotta [...] pay attention.'"

Armisen also revealed one of his favorite behind-the-scenes moments from the upcoming season, describing a scene set in an insane asylum with realistic rain and lightning effects that made him feel like he was truly on a TV set.

Armisen's praise for Ortega's talent and work ethic echoes the sentiments of other "Wednesday" cast members, including Steve Buscemi and Christina Ricci, who have also lauded the young actress's abilities.
