Urie, who earned acclaim for his portrayal of Marc St. James, noted that the original show was remarkably ahead of its time regarding diversity and queer representation when it debuted in 2006. While he acknowledged some dated elements, he maintains the core spirit of the series remains relevant. Reflecting on his character's potential trajectory, Urie joked that Marc would likely still be under the thumb of Vanessa L. Williams’ character, Wilhelmina Slater, though he remains curious about where the rest of the ensemble—including America Ferrera’s Betty—would land in the present day.
Beyond potential revivals, Urie highlighted the enduring influence of Williams, describing her as a mentor who taught him the nuances of on-set professionalism and fame. The two maintain a close friendship, with plans to reconnect in London. Currently, Urie is focused on his career in Shrinking, for which he earned a Supporting Actor Emmy nomination. Despite the honor, he has publicly championed his co-star Harrison Ford for the win, arguing that the legendary actor is long overdue for recognition in a competitive category. Shrinking, meanwhile, has already secured a renewal for a fourth season featuring a significant time jump.
