Tale
A therapist begins to tell his clients what he thinks
Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making a huge difference in people’s lives, including his own. The cast of “Downsizing” shares the defining moments that defined their characters in the first season, and reveals who does the best Harrison Ford impersonation.
Eventually, Goldstein spoke to Ford and got him to take the role
When Brett Goldstein, Jason Siegel and Bill Lawrence were asked how they got Harrison Ford to play the role, Siegel said that Goldstein originally wanted a “Harrison Ford type” and planned to audition people who looked like Ford. Siegel told Goldstein that they should have pitched it to Ford first, thinking he would immediately say no, but at least others would hear that Harrison Ford had the project, which would spark interest from other famous actors.

Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was thrilled anyway. Based on the reviews I’ve read here, people either like or dislike this show quite a bit, and it seems like it may depend on the reviewers’ reaction to Jason Segal.
The relationships are complex and emotional, and the very real human issues are portrayed well
I’ve loved his movies and I think he’s perfect for the role – and the addition of Harrison Ford takes the show to an even higher level. The writing is excellent, the story is fresh, and the characters are original without becoming too stereotypically weird.
I recommend it!
It can be ridiculously funny, and the next minute will bring tears to your eyes. I was really disappointed after the second episode when I realized I had to wait for more.
