Is being on set like another episode of Girls?

Lena Dunham is famous for blurring the line between reality and fiction. Did being on set feel like another episode of Girls, or are the actors more distinct from their characters than we imagine?
Shiri ApplebyYou know, I really only worked with Adam, and he's definitely different from the character he plays on the show. He's like a really grounded guy. He's very thoughtful and very open with me. We got along really, really well. I think the character on the show is obviously a lot more troubled and has a lot of demons. And if Adam Driver has those demons, I haven't met them! I think that his character is something that he's definitely created between him and Lena. I haven't worked enough with the other actors to really have a fair comment on them. [Photo via]
