The cast of “Shrinking” shares the defining moments that defined their characters in Season 1 and reveal who is the best Harrison Ford impersonator
Chronology
A grief counselor begins telling his clients exactly what he thinks, and by ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes in people’s lives — including his own. When asked how they got Harrison Ford to join the show, Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence said that Goldstein originally wanted someone who was a “Harrison Ford type” and was going to audition for people who looked like Ford.
Eventually, Goldstein talked to Ford and convinced him to take the part
Segel told Goldstein that they had to at least pitch it to Ford first, thinking that he would reject it outright, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had been featured in the project, which had piqued the interest of other big-name actors. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was happy nonetheless.
The writing is excellent, the story is fresh, and the characters are original without being too stereotypically weird
Featured on WatchMojo: Top 10 TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023) From the reviews I’ve read here, people either love this show or really dislike it, and it seems like that might depend on the reviewers’ reaction to Jason Segal. I’ve enjoyed his films and think he’s perfect for this role — and adding Harrison Ford takes the show to an even higher level.
It can be hilarious to the point of tears the next minute
The relationships are complex and emotional, and the very real human challenges are well-drawn. I was really disappointed after the second episode when I realized I’d have to wait for more. Highly recommended!
