Where have I seen Toni Collette before?\u00a0<\/strong>Collette, best known for iconic performances in films like About a Boy, Little Miss Sunshine, and Emma, told RadioTimes.com<\/a> of joining production late: \u201cMost of the show had been filmed and I was actually new to it. I came in and shot the entire season in five weeks. I play a politician and politicians talk a lot \u2013 there was a lot of dialogue in a very condensed time period!\u201d<\/p>\n
John Leguizamo plays Rob Lopez<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Where have I seen John Leguizamo before?\u00a0<\/strong>Leguizamo was cast comparatively early on, telling RadioTimes.com<\/strong> about the experience of filming: \u201cI love that the story is so powerful, so much of our time, like nothing I\u2019ve ever read or seen before. So that definitely is a plus. And I love my role. My role, Rob, was great. This guy, he\u2019s like a regular dude, like, nice and likeable.\u201d<\/p>\n
