While playing Alex in "Casual," Tommy Dewey also wrote an episode of the series. Dewey has written for other shows like "Sons of Tucson" and "Now We're Talking." The actor explained that writing has been his "other gig since college." However, this was his first time writing for a project he was also acting in. He wrote the episode with his costar Michaela Watkins and said the experience of writing for characters they were playing was surprisingly challenging. "I think our episode came out great, but when we first sat down in front of a blank screen, I think we were both struck with the feeling of, 'Oh my God, I hope we don't screw this up,'" Dewey said.

They wrote Season 3 Episode 8, "Venus," and Dewey said he was glad they had the opportunity once the show was already more established. "We felt like we had a safety net. If you'd asked me to write one of the first five episodes, I'd be like, 'Oh my God, I'm going to screw this up and get fired from both jobs.'" However, Dewey was appreciative and proud of the whole experience. He said, "it took a little bit of mental gymnastics to switch into writer mode and write from the outside looking in ... but I loved it." The actor continued, "I'm so grateful for that opportunity. It made me want to do more of that stuff, write for stuff that I am in."

You can see Tommy Dewey in "Pivoting" on Thursdays at 9:30 PM ET on FOX.
