A tiny drop of blood, instead of a needle and a lab, and a radical idea to revolutionize medicine, disrupt the entire health care system, and maybe even change the world. This was the infamous Elizabeth Holmes/ Theranos story: a young, ambitious entrepreneur with a bold idea, inspiring a great suspension of disbelief in a lot of people dying to believe in her.

Amanda Seyfried delivers another award-worthy performance thanks to her portrayal of disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, who was convicted of fraud, in Hulu’s true-crime miniseries,. Most notably, the 36-year-old actress recreates her real-life counterpart’s distinct baritone voice and signature style, which included a black turtleneck sweater accessorized with a green juice smoothie. The key, Seyfried and showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether tell ET, was to make sure the actress’ portrayal was not to make a joke of Holmes, which has already been done countless times by comedic performers, including star Chloe Fineman.
