After hanging up his Spider-Man suit, Tom Holland is back in a promising new project. Actor Akiva Goldsman on the poster for the miniseries called The Crowded Room.
He portrays Danny Sullivan, a man arrested after participating in a 1979 shooting spree in New York City. This thriller follows the investigation surrounding this man, who undergoes a series of interrogations led by Ria Goodwin, played by Amanda Seyfried.
Out of these heated discussions emerges the mysterious elements of the past that shaped Dan and which lead him to a shocking revelation. You should know that Crowded Room is taken from the biography The Thousand and One Lives of Billy Milligan By Daniel Keyes.
Also known as the “Campus Bully,” Billy Milligan was the subject of a high-profile court case in Ohio in the late 1970s. After committing several crimes, including armed robbery, he was arrested for three counts of rape on the Ohio State University campus.
His lawyers pleaded insanity when psychologists diagnosed him with dissociative identity disorder. Billy Milligan was the first person diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder to mount such a defense, but also the first person to be acquitted of a major crime for this reason, spending ten years in mental hospitals.
The same Billy Milligan also inspired director M. Night Shyamalan for his film Split, which James McAvoy wore. Therefore, we are looking forward to discovering Tom Holland’s performance in the skin of his main character and his other personalities, even the spectacular trailer, whose tension rises to a crescendo, suggests an original screenplay.
The rest of the cast includes Amy Rossum, Sasha Lane, Will Chase, Lior Raz, but also Jason Isaacs, Christopher Abbott, Thomas Sadoski and Zachary Gollinger. The first three episodes of The Crowded Room will be available on Apple TV+ on Friday, June 9, followed by the next seven, with a new episode each week.
