HBO's new dramedy Looking is about to get, um, explosive.

We're not giving you all the details, but if you watch the new episode on Sunday, you'll see Jonathan Groff giving some major O-face duriing an eye-popping sex scene with Raúl Castillo.

(For those who don't know, the series centers on a group of gay friends living in San Francisco with Groff leading the ensemble as Patrick, a video game developer navigating dating and romance.)

"You can't lie in those scenes," Groff told me at the Savannah College Art and Design's aTVfest. "You can't fake those scenes."
Mission accomplished—his bedroom romp with Castillo looks anything but fake!

"The great thing about me and Raúl is that we both come from the theater," Groff said. "We're both very comfortable with our bodies, very comfortable with each other, [we were] very comfortable being naked together from the beginning. That builds a lot of trust. We built a lot of trust between us so you could really go there and we totally went there in that scene."

Their straight female director of photography, Reed Morano, was very impressed.

"She was in the bed with us," Gorff said. "We were in bed and there she was in bed capturing what was happening…She said, 'This is the hottest sex scene I've ever experienced shooting.'"

On finding his O-face, Groff cracked, "It took years of practice."

Costar Murray Bartlett, who plays Dom, had a similar scene in the first episode.

"You just try to put yourself in the moment and let it happen," the hunky Aussie said. "It's the best way to get your O-face."

It also helps when it's a closed set like it was for his wham-bam-thank-you-man scene. "You get in there and you basically have a sock covering your junk," Bartlett said. "You're in there basically naked with these people. I feel like once you're in that sort of situation, your inhibitions sort of drop away. You just focus on what you're doing in the scene, which is try to make it as truthful and organic as possible."

News/ Jonathan Groff Wants More Glee, Also Hopes to Hook Up With Frank Ocean on Looking

Jonathan Groff wants some more Glee.

Lea Michele's Tony-nominated bestie appeared on the hit Fox series as Jesse St. James, a male lead of rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline and a love interest for Rachel Berry.

"The clock is ticking," Groff told me this weekend in Atlanta at the Savannah College of Art and Design's aTVfest, where he was promoting his new HBO dramedy, Looking. "I hope so. I have no idea, [but] I would love to go back. I would love to."

Looking certainly is no Glee. The series, which premiered last month, centers on a group of gay friends living in San Francisco. (It's been called the gay Girls, Friends and even Seinfeld.)

Groff stars as Patrick, a 29-year-old video game developer who is intent on finding love. We've already seen him hookup with a Latino barber (the very hot Raúl Castillo) and now he's falling for his new boss Kevin (played by the also very hot Russell Tovey).

In tonight's episode, Patrick and his friends attend the Folsom Street Fair, San Fran's legendary outdoor leather fetish festival.

Groff is seen wearing a leather vest with no shirt underneath. They shot on location while the fair was going on.

"I had never been to the Folsom Street Fair and it was an experience," Groff said. "We felt very bonded as a cast and a crew after that day. It was inspiring to see people letting their freak flag fly and it was horrifying to see men like on hooks being thrown through the air. It was a lot. It was a lot of things."

HBO has yet to decide on a second season, but if there is one, Groff would love a certain singer-songwriter to play his love interest.

"Frank Ocean," he says when I ask about his dream guest star. "Frank Ocean is the first one that comes to my head. He's completely like my celeb crush. He's amazing."

After our interview at a Looking panel I moderated, executive producer Sarah Condon revealed that they actually did approach Ocean about being on the show, but he wasn't available because he was touring. "I didn't know that!" Groff said.

Fingers-crossed there's not only a season two, but Ocean is free to do some Looking.
