Portraying the titular character Toby Fleishman is The Village actor Jesse Eisenberg.
Regarding his part in the FX original series, Jesse shared with : "So much of this show feels embarrassingly specific to the culture I grew up with, all things I have shame around.
"It can be a relief to play something familiar, but it’s also exposing the things I’ve hidden in my own life — and here I am on television feeling those things in front of everybody."

When it comes to his character Toby's portrayal, Jesse said: "My first reaction had been that the guy is completely self-aware.
"But I realized that he has a sense of righteousness that clouds him from being self-aware and seeing his own contributions to the fraught in his marriage.
"It’s a lot more comfortable for me to play the antihero than it is to play the charming guy."
The actor is joined by Emmy Award winner Claire Danes, who plays the main character's ex-wife Rachel Fleishman.
