The Crowded Room is scheduled to premiere on the Apple TV+ streaming service on the 9th of June, 2023. It was created by Akiva Goldsman and has been in development since 2021. The program was inspired by Daniel Keyes’s non-fiction book, The Minds of Billy Milligan.
Tom plays the character of Danny Sullivan, who was arrested for committing various crimes. He was eventually acquitted after he pleaded that he had dissociative identity disorder. During the court trial, Danny claimed that his multiple personalities were responsible for his crimes. Therefore, he was oblivious to his criminal actions.
