@EHuanglu I watched with an open mind, but this is not good. Would be interested to see it ever will be.

@BlutmanMark Only reason they’re even close is because Trump pulled out of Obama’s Iran deal

For anyone into #ESCAPEATDANNEMORA on ⁦⁦@netflix⁩

This is video I shot in summer of 2017. It’s Maj Charles Guess of NYS troopers who led the manhunt for Matt and Sweat, showing us the sight of Sweat’s capture.

Chuck also played himself in the show and is a great guy!

@Monica1236 @MrEricLange Nobody has reached out from Netflix, but I think they just like things to grow organically? Thank you for watching!!

[Brett Johnson @BrettttJohnson]

Lyle was such a hard part to cast! To the point where we were worried the character wasn’t written correctly. Then Ben called— “have you seen the Eric Lange tape?!” We watched this submission and immediately knew we had our Lyle. Incredible performance @MrEricLange

[Eric Lange @MrEricLange]

To celebrate #EscapeAtDannemora on @netflix I present to you... my audition tape for @BenStiller! I couldn't get hooked in to Lyle, just wasn't working, felt like a fraud... so I bought a wig & a pair of fake teeth & everything just came together. Never regret taking a big swing!

[Brett Johnson @BrettttJohnson]

@Monica1236 @MrEricLange Thank you! It is so meaningful to have a whole new audience discover the show 6 years later, and we really appreciate the support. 🙏🙏🙏

@Jujyfruit77 @smhrbst @netflexnl The Hillary Clinton painting is not political— it’s from research. The real Richard Matt painted that portrait in real life.

For anyone who’s into #ESCAPEATDANNEMORA on @netflix

This is a video of the first time we got into a mockup of the pipe, which was actual size…

@often_annoyed Oooooh yes sorry I didn’t realize what episode you were on! My bad!

@PunkConservativ @BenStiller @Showtime Actually the portrait of Hillary Clinton is something the real Richard Matt drew: https://t.co/hgKc09Axgf
