as bridey murphy in a town in ireland 200 years before, and it was fascinating.eren't getting anywhere with this 100-year-old guy. i said wait a second, what if he's not 100? what if he's eight but he still has these memories? how spooky would that be? so that became the genesis of what happened when eric brought in a wonderful writer named sarah thorp who took what we gave her and created this in credibly dark, strange, surreal world. she's talking about dr. eli adler, who i would play, i said you know what? i want to play him. >> stephen: we have a clip here. >> billy: eli is now losing his mind a little bit. i'm a pediatric psychiatrist, dealing this amazing young actor named jacobi jupe. they are about to transfer him to an institution. i can't figure out what's going on with him. i'm a doctor who's based in science and facts. this kid is throwing me for a loop i feel like there's something else happening. why did he come to me? what's the pull to me? something is going on. i come to his foster mother who is played wonderfully by rosie perez. >> stephen: jim?
