There was a strong dynamic between the always superb Zach Brewster-Geisz, as Adam Trask, and the phenomenal Jacob Yeh, who played his right-hand man and cook, Lee… In their intensely angry scenes, Yeh and Sygar conducted a virtual acting clinic.
Hoffmann and Yeh also explore race through Lee, whether he’s carefully codeswitching to fly under people’s radars or standing up to a thoughtless nurse who wants to get in between him and his family. Moments when Lee leans more stereotypical are played by Yeh with a perfect degree of self-aware humor, keeping Steinbeck and Galati’s character multidimensional.
