I was also a bit surprised when he showed up, as he's definitely a bigger star than any of the actors on the show and that appearance was basically an extended cameo. I guess it's important that the character has some gravitas and that the audience immediately likes him or feels drawn to him, and a familiar face helps with that. So maybe the showrunners went out of their way to cast someone famous like him. I have no idea though. Maybe he's banging the producer or something, I don't know

Or maybe he’s recurring through flashbacks in season 2?

It’s very interesting to see him as Mike and have the “reunion” with Rich.

Yeah I was getting worked up then Let Down began and I started crying.
Me too. Then the shot of Bernthal at the end was a crescendo that knocked me out.
