‘Escape At Dannemora’ Cast On Retelling Dramatic True Story For TV | TODAY

[@_sam.i.am_]

Love how Patricia is not afraid to play these type of roles! Everyone was great!! Loved it!!

Patricia Arquette's portrayal of Joyce "Tilly" Mitchell is incredible. She has the dumpy, frumpy woe is me Joyce down to perfection..... can't wait for part 4!

I am halfway through the series I just realized it was her playing tilly. She was amazing in this role !

[@cherylb5680]

Agree. She NAILED it! Award winning performance.

Cheryl B and she won! She deserved it. So glad it went to her! Great performance! Also happy The Assassination of Gianni Versace won best limited series and with that Darren Criss as Andrew Cunanan winning best actor in a limited series! He too did an awesome job! ❤️ both of these series.

[@ErikS-]

Del Torro deserves an Oscar for his role. The last episode, describing the post escape period, was excellent acting by Del Torro. Especially the time he was acting drunk was so extreme good acting...

Eric Lange

[@tommyettinger1353]

it was crazy to see Eric Lange play that role so well after watching him on the Nickelodeon show Victorious play their crazy teacher but shows how dynamic some actors can be

[@tommyettinger1353]

@Eddie Coyle lol Lyle was a real person though so they cant keep using his likeness and that probably wouldn't get picked up either way especially under the context of this series

[@KSfan4ever]

@Eddie Coyle Eric Lange was indeed incredible in his portrayal! And I am wondering why wasn't he included in this publicity line-up with the other stars?

[@steveperez178]

He's great in Narcos & Narcos Mexico

[@robocathy359]

I binge watch every week on the show...lol! It's so intense and Arquette, Del Toro and Dano are absolutely incredible. Great directing, Ben Stiller, and this story needed to be told! 👍❤🤯😮

[@MissesNoitall]

I love all 3 of these actors and they did a phenomenal job portraying the real life characters BUT Paul Dano was by far my favorite. He did Sweat so great and I knew watching him in Taking Lives he was going to be huge....HUGE.

All 4 of them are very underrated actors

[@trueprisonstoriesbygaryyor3684]

I am so honored to have a small small part in episode #5. I write true prison crime and tell true prison crime stories on my youtube channel.

[@joycejohnson7164]

Paul Dano did a G R E A T job! I agree with him. Mr. Sweat should be given the opportunity to use his engineering/mechanical skills via a work program. What a waste for this guy to be in solitary confinement. Could pay the state back faster if he could work...

[@UpstateRemy]

The fact that this escape happened 1 hour from me is insane. I'm now just getting to watch the show too.

[@latvguy1]

This is a really good series. At first it seemed a little slow, but now I'm loving the slow build to the inevitable. The performances are amazing. In particular, Patricia Arquette.

[@dennesey]

Paul Dano was brilliant. Why I don't anticipate his upcoming roles is beyond me. BDT did not come to act out a role. He transformed. Stiller's lingering camera scenes/cam-work, ultra-natural human behavior, and slow-burn story telling all worked superbly. Casting is 10/10 across the board. Shout out to the actor playing Tilly's husband. My man nailed that sh.....

[@Theflowergeekcrafts]

I would like to see this. It seems a little soon to have this being made but idk. My uncle was part of the search crew and did transport for Sweat after his recapture. It was definitely a crazy time for us here in upstate NY.

Good to see Stiller return from where he started, to a serious human drama. I mean Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun," Stiller's feature film debut. Tone wise, both films are similarly bleak about prison, guilt and dreams.

[@florencequinones7455]

Its been years since I've since such an amazing portrayal. What can I say - Everyone has done such an extraordinary performance of each of their characters: Patricia as Tilly: the frumpy middle-aged woman who really doesn't know what she wants. I think its just love, affection and to be noticed. Her husband doesn't fullfill her; Sweat is being forced into this maternalistic/sexual role and Matt is just utilizing her to achieve his escape. Sad Role. Benicio as Matt: is a destroyed, tortured man who wants his spiritual (him riding on the horse) and physical freedom. He utilizes the people around him to achieve each segment of his escape. I have not finished seeing the series, but either he finds his end when he escapes or his destruction will be complete. Paul Dano as Sweat: is being utilized again by both Tilly and Matt but I see him as a pure soul despite his situation in prison. He may reach his physical and spiritual escape. Have to finish the series. I remember Ben Stiller in all his comedic roles but I think he reached the jackpot with this film. He makes you aware of the dark, desperate prison environment but he puts it on a second plane. The focus is on the progression of each of his characters. The movies is slow-paced but for this reason the spectator has time to observe, study and analyze Tilly, Matt and Sweat. He envelops these personages into one sphere. Amazing Work! Ben has to win that Emmy. Congratulations All!
