- TriviaMark Ruffalo lost 20 pounds before filming began to play Dominick. After shooting those scenes for 16 weeks, he took a six-week break to gain 30 pounds to play Thomas. He ate whatever he wanted, including large amounts of fast food, donuts, mashed potatoes and oatmeal.
Gabe Fazio, who plays Shawn Tudesco, is the same height as Ruffalo and also served as his acting double, portraying whichever twin Ruffalo wasn't. During Ruffalo's weight gain, he lost 30 pounds to stand in as Dominick.

Featured review
I understand that some people don't like depressing films and TV shows, but that does not mean that you can bring down the ratings of a good show just because you don't want to feel sad during a pandemic.
Now, my thoughts on the show are very good. The acting from Mark Ruffalo is superb as he plays 2 characters and every other actor gives their all as well. The directing is also really great and while the camera work can be disorienting at times, it is overall done very well. This show is VERY depressing, I don't have a problem with that. I think people need to focus less on what exactly happens to these characters and more on how it affects them. This show tackles difficult subjects like grief and disabilities and it does so very well. If you are a fan of Mark Ruffalo and really well made incredibly acted dramas, this show is for you.
