Conrad Ricamora filmed a full role as Andy Sachs's roommate in The Devil Wears Prada 2 — only for the entire subplot to be excised from the final cut during late-stage editorial revisions.

Ricamora was cast as Andy Sachs's roommate, a character who would have appeared in recurring scenes opposite Anne Hathaway across the film's first act during the main 2025 New York shoot.

The entire roommate storyline was excised during late-stage editorial revisions. The film reportedly ran closer to two hours, and cutting subplots is the standard tool for tightening runtime.

Three main reasons: pacing — the film needed to be tighter. Tonal calibration — other characters already delivered the comic relief. Test screenings — audiences responded more to other plotlines.

"Sometimes the scene works for the movie, and sometimes the scene works for the cutting room." Ricamora posted two warm on-set photographs with Anne Hathaway that instantly went viral online.

Tony-nominated actor and singer. Star of How to Get Away With Murder, Hulu's Fire Island, and Cole Escola's surprise Broadway hit Oh, Mary! — one of the most interesting career arcs in his cohort.
