Emmy Rossum Interview: The Crowded Room

Apple TV’s new miniseries, The Crowded Room, is an atmospheric psychological drama fans of shows like Mindhunter won’t want to miss when it premieres on June 9. Adapted and executive produced by Akiva Goldsman, it follows the story of a young man named Danny Sullivan and unfolds through a series of interviews after he’s been arrested. Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Tom Holland stars as well as produces for the show, opposite names like Amanda Seyfried and Emmy Rossum, who plays Danny’s mother, Candy. In an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Rossum shares what it was like to “explore that darkness” with Holland and why tackling “Shakespearean-level tragedy” was her biggest draw.
The Crowded Room takes place in New York in the 1970s after Danny is placed under arrest for crimes he insists he never committed. To get to the bottom of this mystery, investigator Rya Goodwin (Seyfried) sits down with Danny to dig into the events leading up to his alleged involvement in a shooting. Their conversations lead to revelations about his past that may shed light on “his childhood and his past, and what might have led to this crime” in a life-altering discovery.
While discussing the series, Rossum explains why she was so moved by her character, why difficult roles appeal to her, and how she ultimately lets off steam after the pressure of said performances. She also talks about her relationship with her in-show son, as well as what it’s like to share a scene with Holland and Seyfried, and the importance of handling violence, physically and emotionally, in a responsible manner on set.

I honestly don't think I could've played this role as a mom. I give her MAD props for it. There were so many good performances in this show so I can get how people can forget about her performance being just as good as it was. I'd hate to be in that head space and then go home and be with my kids at night. I'd probably never stop hugging them.
