THE
"13 REASONS WHY" ACTORS HAD THERAPY DOGS TO HELP WITH EMOTIONAL SCENES
By Hannah Orenstein - Apr 17, 2017
“13 Reasons Why” doesn't shy away from tackling heavy issues like bullying, rape, and suicide. But
bringing such dark stories to life can take a toll on actors, which is why the cast had access to cute, cuddly
therapy dogs while filming the show.
"They had therapy dogs on set," Dylan Minnette, who played Clay, told PopSugar. "There was a
puppy per hour. They really tried to help out. The puppies helped." According to the Alliance of Therapy
Dogs, the pups are "on a mission of sharing smiles and joy."
Dylan also acknowledged that Katherine Langford, who played Hannah, had the most intense
experience of them all. "She had the brunt of the emotional stuff," he continued. "I mean, we all have very
emotional parts, but this is about her character." In the same interview, Katherine acknowledged the intensity
of her character's role and explained why it was so important to bring these tough scenes to life.
"We always read a new script at a table read, and once we hit episode nine, there was silence," she
said. "That's when we realized what we were doing was important. That's the moment that's kind of ingrained
in my head as, 'This is really important.' We cover so many intense issues. I feel like so much of Hannah's
life, especially the last five episodes, is so tragic that you just have to put that shock aside and get through it.
It's only been after the show and after wrapping that I've gone, wow, we really did handle some really heavy
stuff. I'm really proud of how we handle it, because as you said we don't shy away from them."
