To pass their time at home, Jackson said they moved on from being-watching because it was \"too much couch time\" and now they’re playing lots of board games.

While they’ve moved on from Monopoly, there’s an \"ongoing Jenga war\" in their house now.

The \"Fringe\" alum is also happy others are finding enjoyment in \"Little Fires Everywhere,\" calling the response from fans after the series premiered on Hulu last week \"everything we hoped it would be.\"

\"I’m glad to be part of something that can be helping people to take their minds off of what’s going on in the world right now,\" he added.
