“When it came to Number Five, I started to panic at one point, because I’d literally seen hundreds of kids with Peter Hoare, the director. [...] Then I got a tape from Aidan Gallagher, who looked at the camera and said, ‘I would kill to have this part’ and then launched into his audition. I just instantly knew, that’s Five.” - Showrunner Steve Blackman in an interview with Entertainment Weekly
