Propmaker Maggie Goll worked with A.D. Dave Halls in 2019 on Hulu’s “Into the Dark” series. She says, “At first he seemed like an older, affable first [A.D.] with the usual run of idiosyncrasies, but that facade soon disappeared,” adding, “He did not maintain a safe working environment.”
“He did not maintain a safe working environment,” Goll said in a statement to NBC News. “Sets were almost always allowed to become increasingly claustrophobic, no established fire lanes, exits blocked … safety meetings were nonexistent.”
