‘Exploring Certain Emotions That I Have Definitely Never Experienced’
The Crowded Room was also produced by Holland.
Speaking to ExtraTV about the hard work involved in both acting and producing, he said, “It was a tough time for sure.”
Holland recalled, “We were exploring certain emotions that I have definitely never experienced before, and then on top of that, being a producer, dealing with the day-to-day problems that come with any film set, just added that extra level of pressure.”
“I’m no stranger to hard work, I’ve always lived by this idea that hard work is good work. I really enjoyed it but then again, the show did break me.”
He continued, “There did come a time when I was sort of, ‘I need to have a break’. I disappeared. I went to Mexico for a week and had some time on a beach and lay low. And I’m now taking a year off, and that is a result of how difficult this show was.”
The Crowded Room is currently available to watch on Apple TV.
It also stars Amanda Seyfried (Mean Girls, Mama Mia), Sasha Lane (Loki), Emmy Rossum (Shameless), Emma Laird (Mayor of Kingstown), Thomas Sadoski (The Newsroom), and Jason Isaacs (Peter Pan, Black Hawk Down).
The series is based on a 1981 book called The Minds of Billy Milligan by Daniel Keyes.
Those who get angry about a favourite actor playing a gay role don’t get upset when that same actor plays a killer or a rapist or a traitor. Why? What is so threatening to them?
