With shaggy hair, tired eyes, and a tortured persona, Tom Holland is hardly recognizable in the latest Apple TV+ series, "The Crowded Room." The limited thriller series premiered on the platform on June 9, and it stars Holland as David Sullivan, a man who is involved in a New York City shooting in 1979. After his arrest, interrogator Rya Goodwin (Amanda Seyfried) seeks to understand his involvement in the crime and slowly gets David to reveal details of his past that led him to the incident.
"The Crowded Room" is not for the faint of heart, and even took a toll on Holland, who recently revealed to Extra that the nature of the show wasn't easy to deal with. "It was a tough time, for sure," he explained. "I'm now taking a year off, and that is a result of how difficult this show was."

If you miss Tom Holland on the big screen in the coming year, blame The Crowded Room. Marvel’s Spider-Man revealed that the Apple TV+ series took so much out of him, it prompted his break from acting to care for his mental health. Holland stars as Danny Sullivan in the drama in addition to executive producing. Danny is loosely based on “The Campus Rapist” Billy Milligan, the man at the center of a highly publicized court case in 1970s Ohio. Milligan was arrested for the robbery, kidnapping, and rape of three women on Ohio State University’s campus. He was the first defendant found not guilty on the basis of dissociative identity disorder. He subsequently spent eight years in jails and psychiatric hospitals. Playing Danny required Holland to explore “certain emotions that I have definitely never experienced before,” he told ExtraTV, noting that his producer duties added an “extra level of pressure.

Spoiler Alert: This review contains spoilers from “The Crowded Room.”
Over 20 years ago, screenwriter Akiva Goldsman penned the script for “A Beautiful Mind,” the Oscar-winning biopic of mathematician and diagnosed schizophrenic John Nash. To convey Nash’s subjective experience of his condition, “A Beautiful Mind” pulled a bait-and-switch. Early in the film, we meet Nash’s college roommate, who becomes his lifelong friend; later, it’s revealed the roommate was a figment of Nash’s imagination. At the time, the twist was effective enough to earn Goldsman an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
The limited series “The Crowded Room,” created by Goldsman for Apple TV+, attempts the same trick to greatly diminished returns. A simple Wikipedia search shows that “The Crowded Room” was inspired by Billy Milligan, the first defendant acquitted by invoking a case of dissociative identity disorder in the late 1970s. But ahead of the show’s release,...

Tom Holland is taking a much-needed break from the big screen. In an interview published on June 6, the 27-year-old actor told Extra he's decided to take a year-long break from acting. This decision comes after wrapping up the Apple TV+ series "The Crowded Room," in which he worked as the series lead and executive producer. The 10-episode "true-crime adjacent" project draws inspiration from the story of real-life Billy Milligan. Holland's character, Danny Sullivan, parallels Milligan's sexual-assault crimes and mental illness, including his dissociative identity disorder diagnosis.
"It was a tough time, for sure," Holland said about the making of the show. "We were exploring certain emotions that I have definitely never experienced before. And then on top of that, being an executive producer, dealing with the day-to-day problems that come with any film set, just added that extra level of pressure."

Tom Holland put his all into The Crowded Room
The Spider-Man actor recently opened up about balancing — or not balancing — his duties as an executive producer and star in the first installment of the AppleTV+ anthology series.
“This show absolutely broke me in every way possible,” Holland tells The Hollywood Reporter at The Crowded Room premiere in New York City Thursday. “I just kept my head down. I dug my heels in, and I just tried my best.”
His fellow EP, Alexandra Milchan, says Holland earned his title as producer. He was involved in the scenes, dialogues, sets and production issues, all while starring in the 10-episode series in which he’s in almost every scene.
“Tom is always prepared,” Milchan tells THR. “Tom cares, and Tom gives it all. … So, I really give it to him. He went and opened up his heart and soul. I feel like in...

Tom Holland’s mind holds a secret that Amanda Seyfried tries to unlock in the first trailer for The Crowded Room, a new psychological thriller series hitting Apple TV in June.
The 10-episode series focuses on Holland’s Danny Sullivan, who is tied to a series of crimes and shootings in 1979 New York City, even though he has no memory (or “blank spots”) of the incidents. It’s up to Seyfried’s interrogator to solve the mystery before Sullivan is convicted of a crime he potentially (or at least didn’t intentionally) commit.

Apple TV+'s new TV show lineup is stacked for 2022. The streaming service continues to grow its original content offering alongside competitor services like Netflix and Hulu, including shows like the acclaimed comedy series "Ted Lasso" and the upcoming historical drama series "Pachinko." A highly anticipated series coming to the streamer is "The Crowded Room," which is partially based on "The Minds of Billy Milligan," the true-crime novel by Daniel Keyes.
At the center of "The Crowded Room" is Danny Sullivan (Tom Holland), a character loosely based on the real-life Billy Milligan, who had dissociative identity disorder and was the first person to be acquitted of a crime for the reason of insanity. In real life, Milligan was arrested and charged with the robbery, kidnapping, and rape of three women in 1977. Following a lengthy psychiatric evaluation, it was determined that Milligan had 24 alternate personalities, which would eventually deem him not guilty of his crimes.
