Ray (Alex Karpovsky) had to face some harsh truths in the most recent episode of \u201cGirls.\u201d Very much to Shoshanna\u2019s (Zosia Mamet) surprise, Ray isn\u2019t just keeping close for the sake of being romantic; he\u2019s basically living with her. Making matters worse, he\u2019s a 33-year-old with no job mooching off his 21-year-old girlfriend. Then again, they do genuinely love each other, so that\u2019s a plus, right?<\/p>\n
While discussing Alex Karpovsky\u2019s upcoming feature endeavors, \u201cRed Flag\u201d and \u201cRubberneck,\u201d Karpovsky offered his own two cents, explaining, \u201cRay and Shoshanna enter this \u2026 place where they\u2019re starting to throw the L-word around to each other, and it\u2019s a place that\u2019s very scary for both of them.\u201d He continues, \u201cShoshanna because of her inexperience, largely, and her age, and for Ray because of his own personal demons and issues.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karpovsky recalls that Ray\u2019s initial attraction to Shoshanna was directly connected to her sincerity, honesty and purity, however, he also adds, \u201cThere\u2019s a fine line between sincerity and naivety, and that\u2019s a line that Ray walks through most of season two.\u201d To hint at his character\u2019s path for the duration of the season, Karpovsky explains, \u201cHe\u2019s gonna keep going down that road and find that the difference between those two things are maybe quite a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
