And Just Like That… Season 2 Episode 7 “February 14” on Max serves up a very special Valentine’s Day for all of our favorite characters. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), of course, reunites with her former fiancé Aidan (John Corbett), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) giddily goes after a hot date with Miriam Shor‘s sexy romance novel narrator, and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) believes that she is dying of a stroke, when she really is just high off of a special brownie. But nowhere was cupid feeling more cheeky than he was with Anthony (Mario Cantone). When Anthony has a chance to peddle his wares on The Drew Barrymore Show, he frantically looks for a sweeter, daytime-friendly version of one of “Hot Fellas.” Charlotte hooks him up with a dreamy Italian poet she discovers in a card shop who turns out to have a distracting large package.
“He was almost a well-hung Disney prince,” And Just Like That… showrunner Michael Patrick King gushed on Max’s official And Just Like That… The Writers Room Podcast S2 E7.
Yes, indeed, Giuseppe (Sebastiano Pigazzi) is And Just Like That…‘s newest dreamboat. He’s a sensitive soul who first passes the Charlotte test before bowling both Anthony and Drew Barrymore herself over with his impressively large, uh, accoutrement. The hilarious moment only comes together because Charlotte recommends him because she discovers Giuseppe writing love poems on an old type writer in a stationery store. He seems to be the perfect antidote to the more porn-tastic men who usually work at Hot Fellas. However, once Anthony — and The Drew Barrymore Show audience — see Giuseppe in his Hot Fellas get up, it’s clear he’s, in King’s words, a “comically-hung dreamboat.”
King and his fellow And Just Like That... writers stayed mum on the podcast on whether or not Pigazzi used a prosthetic for his “big” moment, but they did reveal that casting Pigazzi actually changed the trajectory of the newest AJLT character.
“We write these prototype characters, this dreamboat, and then, you look at the auditions, and the first person that came up was Sebastiano Pigazzi,” King said. “And everything else that we thought that the character would be, which was kind of, um, I think a little bit more porn, went out the window, because all of a sudden, there was, like, Prince Charming.”
So who is And Just Like That…‘s Prince Charming? Here’s what you need to know about Sebastiano Pigazzi.
Already crushing on And Just Like That...’s new dreamboat Giuseppe? Want to know more about the actor who plays him?
Giuseppe is played by Italian actor Sebastiano Pigazzi. If he looks familiar to you, that could be because he’s also appeared as Enrico in HBO’s We Are Who We Are and as Angelo Vitelli in last year’s The Offer. Pigazzi actually tells a humorous story about his time being told to improvise a kiss with Francesca Scorsese on the set of We Are Who We Are in this Vestal Magazine interview.
Like his And Just Like That… character Giuseppe, Pigazzi is fluent in both Italian and English. You can follow him on Instagram @sebastiano.pigazzi.
Worried Giuseppe will be a one-and-done character on the Max show? The writers of And Just Like That… hinted on their podcast that he will be back — and a potential new love interest for none other than Anthony.
