Neal Huff, Gaby Hoffmann Join Paramount+’s ‘The Best Of Us’

EXCLUSIVE: Neal Huff (Fallout, A Murder at the End of the World), Gaby Hoffmann (Transparent, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere), and Sky Yang (Last Days, Rebel Moon) will star in The Best of Us, the upcoming Paramount+ limited series from writers Tobias Lindholm and Frank Pugliese. The series was previously known as 9/12.

The Best of Us dramatizes a landmark case that reshaped the fight for accountability: a relentless legal war that stretched nearly a decade to secure almost $1 billion in compensation for first responders who fell gravely ill in the wake of 9/11.

Jeremy Strong leads the cast as renowned class action lawyer Jason Smith, who risked everything to take on entrenched institutions, exposing the politics, greed, corruption and betrayal that compounded tragedy, set against the emergency workers’ remarkable unity and bravery as The World Trade Center was collapsing.

The Best of Us cast also includes Barry Pepper as Coach, a former NYPD police officer and 9/11 first responder suffering from leukemia, a result of his work at Ground Zero, and Andrea Riseborough as Molly, Coach’s resilient wife who is deeply concerned about her husband’s health and family’s future.

The newly added trio and who they will play can be found below.

Huff will play Peter Allen, Jason’s (Strong) pragmatic colleague at the law firm who is a sounding board and early on questions the viability of the case.

Hoffmann will play Kathleen McCormick, a seasoned FDNY firefighter and activist who is deeply affected by the ongoing deaths from 9/11.

Yang will play The Lost Son,” a young and mysterious homeless man who has experienced hardship at a young age.

From Paramount Television Studios and Sister, the new 6-episode limited series is written, directed and executive produced by Tobias Lindholm (The Investigation, A War) and written and executive produced by Frank Pugliese (House of Cards). Strong is also executive producer.

Huff is repped by Buchwald and Linden Entertainment. Hoffmann is repped by Ope Partners, Gersh and Peikoff Mahan. Yang is repped by Independent Talent Group, Range Media Partners, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
