In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Holland disclosed that the character brought about a little bit of a psychological spin-out. Per Holland:
“I used to be seeing myself in [the character], however in my private life. I keep in mind having a little bit of a meltdown at dwelling and considering, like, ‘I will shave my head. I have to shave my head as a result of I have to eliminate this character.’ And, clearly, we have been mid-shooting, so I made a decision to not … It was not like something I’ve ever skilled earlier than.”
Holland emerged from the expertise with an altered perspective on his personal psychological well being. The time he spent with psychiatrists alerted him to stressors in his life, like — and I believe all of us can relate right here — social media. He is additionally been sober for over a yr, so it appears like, if nothing else, the ordeal of being Danny Sullivan finally benefited Holland. After viewing the present, Holland instructed EW he hopes folks “will really feel educated in regards to the powers of psychological well being, the struggles, [and] our unimaginable skills to outlive.”
Although he is been busy making blockbusters over the seven years, Holland has confirmed to be a tremendously resourceful actor in movies like James Grey’s “The Misplaced Metropolis of Z” and Antonio Campos’ “The Satan All of the Time.” We’re simply scraping the floor of what this younger man can do, and it appears like “The Crowded Room” could possibly be an explosive showcase of his skills.
