The 'Tick, Tick...Boom!' star's character, Detective Pyre, is an elder member of the Utah-based Latter Day Saints church. According to a description of the series, Pyre "begins to question some of the Church's teachings through his contact with a suspected murderer." "So far, what we've found isn't pointing outward," Garfield's Pyre. "The evidence points to things and to beliefs that I have only ever heard whispering about." Oscars 2022: Kirsten Dunst, Andrew Garfield, Benedict Cumberbatch and Others Express Their Joy Over Being on the Coveted List at 94th Academy Awards.
