Abe Weissman

Tony Shalhoub Reflects on 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' and Real-Life Parallels.

In season 5, episode 8 of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," Abe Weissman (Tony Shalhoub) has an epiphany about his daughter Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) and realizes he never gave her enough credit. Shalhoub, who has two daughters around the same age as Midge, says the scene was weighty and personal. Marin Hinkle, who plays Abe's wife, Rose, calls it a powerful and milestone scene. The episode marks the first time Abe has shown how much he respects Midge for everything she's done as a woman in the 1950s and '60s.
