Amanda Seyfried Surprises Box Office With Secret Role in A24 Documentary You Can See Everything
Amanda Seyfried holds a surprisingly large, uncredited role in the A24 documentary You Can See Everything, helping drive the film to a domestic box-office total of $45 million after just 10 days in theaters, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The actress, who previously starred as Elizabeth Holmes in the Hulu miniseries The Dropout, managed to keep her involvement out of all marketing materials and reviews ahead of the film’s release.
Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the documentary features Seyfried reprising her Holmes impression. She uses the impression to help Fielder re-enact unrecorded interactions he had with the disgraced Theranos founder. Seyfried also pushes back against Fielder and Holmes’ husband, Billy Evans, during discussions within the film.
Box Office Expansion and Hidden Appearances
The film expanded rapidly in its second weekend, moving from 855 theaters to 2,655 theaters nationwide. Industry tracking suggests the three-hour documentary could ultimately reach the $100 million domestic mark.
Google searches for Seyfried spiked following the film’s release as audiences discovered her hidden performance. Her involvement came to light just weeks after a resurfaced 2025 CBS Sunday Morning interview where contributor Ben Mankiewicz asked her to perform her Holmes impression for her children.
During that interview with Mankiewicz, Seyfried discussed the vocal patterns of the Theranos founder.
I don’t look anything like her,
Seyfried said in the CBS Sunday Morning interview. She was just very differently — well, I’ve had some practice lately. But it’s her own way of speaking; she can’t change it. She did definitely bring [her voice tone] down a few frequencies for her own reasons. But she was performing. She was playing a character. But her voice is her voice.
