Trivia / The Leftovers

• Actor-Shared Background: The real Mark Linn-Baker really does have two degrees from Yale.
• The Cast Showoff: Subverted by Kevin's karaoke scene. Justin Theroux is, by his own admission, not much of a singer.
• Fake American: Englishman Christopher Eccleston plays American Matt Jamison.
• Playing Against Type: In season two Liv Tyler is on point as a character who's much more assertive - and much, much more horrible - than her usual roles.
• Star-Making Role: The show is Carrie Coon's first regular role on a show. She's gone on to do movies and appear in other major television roles.
