Tom Holland has detailed how filming his new Apple thriller The Crowded Room led to the Spider-Man: No Way Home actor having a "bit of a meltdown."
In the Apple limited series, Holland plays Danny Sullivan, a man arrested after a shooting takes place in 1979 New York. His character is loosely based on the real-life crimes of Billy Milligan – with the performance seemingly affecting Holland.
"I was seeing myself in him, but in my personal life," Holland told Entertainment Weekly. "I remember having a bit of a meltdown at home and thinking, like, 'I'm going to shave my head. I need to shave my head because I need to get rid of this character.' And, obviously, we were mid-shooting, so I decided not to… It was unlike anything I've ever experienced before."
The Crowded Room, a 10-part limited series, also stars Amanda Seyfried as interrogator Rya Goodwin. As Rya begins to dig deeper, it’s clear that there are more to the "blank spots" in Danny's life – as mysterious figures appear (and disappear) with worrying regularity. The first trailer has also been released, giving eager fans a gripping look at the crime drama.
