Emmy Rossum to Play Tom Holland's Mom in Apple TV+ Anthology Series THE CROWDED ROOM
Actress Emmy Rossum (Mystic River, The Phantom of the Opera, Shameless) has signed on to a role in the Apple TV+ seasonal anthology series The Crowded Room. The actress is somehow set to play the mother of Tom Holland’s character, despite only having a ten-year age gap. Granted, Holland can play younger, and I guess they can age her up a bit, but it must be a story based on a woman who had a child at a young age.
Written and executive produced by Akiva Goldsman, “The Crowded Room is an anthology series that will explore inspirational stories of those who have struggled with mental illness and learned to live successfully with it. The 10-episode first season is based in part on Goldsman’s own life and inspired by Daniel Keyes’ biography The Minds of Billy Milligan.”
Holland, who also executive produces alongside Goldman, plays the lead, Danny Sullivan, loosely based on Milligan, who was the first person acquitted of a crime because of multiple-personality disorder, now known as dissociative identity disorder.
Rossum will play Candy, Danny’s mother. Through their struggles in life, she dreams of salvation in the form of someone else. Seyfried plays Rya, a clinical psychologist faced with the most challenging case of her career.
This sounds like it will be an incredibly interesting series. I look forward to checking it out. The Crowded Room is set to hit Apple TV+ later this year. Will you be watching?
