Earlier, Speaking to Entertainment Weekly,Holland said The Crowded Room had left him struggling to get out of the character. "I was seeing myself in him, but in my personal life. 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,’" he said. "And obviously, we were mid-shooting, so I decided not to. It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before," he stated.
