Daniel Radcliffe: Arthur Gets “Pretty Unhinged” in The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins

Episode 4, “Save the Cat,” turns a missing-cat story into something deeper about guilt, change and family. As the search for Namath the cat unfolds, Daniel Radcliffe says his documentarian Arthur is pulled further into the Dinkins household and is “actually pretty unhinged and in a pretty desperate place in his life.” Bobby Moynihan’s Rusty quietly becomes the home’s emotional utility player, absorbing tension and providing relief.

Moynihan and Radcliffe both note that Rusty may be “the most emotionally at peace” in the house—he’s figured it out, and he just wants people to join him. Radcliffe describes Arthur’s central struggle as one between documentary rules and real attachment: he starts with a code—“we must remain separate, a sort of church and state thing”—but comes to realize he likes these people and can’t stay objective.
