The cast of “Shrinking” shares the defining moments that defined their characters in Season 1 and reveal who is the best Harrison Ford impersonator
A grief counselor begins telling his clients exactly what he thinks, and by ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes in people’s lives — including his own. When asked how they got Harrison Ford to join the show, Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence said that Goldstein originally wanted someone who was a “Harrison Ford type” and was going to audition for people who looked like Ford.
Eventually, Goldstein talked to Ford and convinced him to take the part
Segel told Goldstein that they had to at least pitch it to Ford first, thinking that he would reject it outright, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had been featured in the project, which had piqued the interest of other big-name actors. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was happy about it nonetheless.

Partly because I found it to be grounded in reality, about a therapist who needs therapy and wants to get through to his patients in order to unexpectedly overcome his own issues. I also respect the way it’s presented – he’s not doing something other therapists are supposed to do, and that’s pretty clear.
The show isn’t for everyone
He hasn’t gotten into the goofy situations of other shows like Loot, but it’s still early in the series and I’ll keep watching. That said, I like the depth of the characters, and they don’t feel like caricatures; they’re people I’d like to get to know.
