Mike Faist in EAST OF EDEN is the definition of a supporting performance that truly elevates the material. He knows exactly when to take up space and when to pull back, adding another layer of emotional complexity to every scene he’s in like old school hollywood actors did.
Following the series release, Florence Pugh is being lauded for her work in ‘EAST OF EDEN.’
“The Oscar nominee is exhilarating as Cathy, who is as coarse as sandpaper and yet as alluringly drawn as any character on TV in recent years — It’s Pugh’s best performance to date.”
Paul Dano on his wife Zoe Kazan's forthcoming adaptation of 'East of Eden':
“It is hard for me to say how proud I am of Zoe. It’s almost a little too emo, a little too vulnerable in public… It’s a very brave thing for her to take on, and I feel like she gave all she had. I think the work speaks for itself.”

Mike Faist was originally set to appear in only three episodes of ‘EAST OF EDEN,’ but his performance as Charles Trask impressed Netflix so much after the first dailies that they invested more in the production.
“Netflix was like, ‘We love him so much. We’ll pay for another episode,’ according to Zoe Kazan, who managed to write Faist into a later episode.
