On Differentiating Steve and Ben's Styles

Perhaps one of the biggest plot twists in Dead to Me season two is the fact that the late Steve Wood (portrayed by James Marsden) has a "semi-identical" twin brother named Ben (also portrayed by — you guessed it! — James Marsden). Although the two characters once shared a womb, they "are not alike in any way except their faces," Trayce said.

Confident, sly, and always in control, Steve regularly wore expensive suits, tailored to a T and adorned with a pocket square. Ben, on the other hand, has more of a sweet, dorky dad vibe, and Trayce chose to portray those characteristics by styling him in pieces by sensible brands like J.Crew, Old Navy, and Clarks. (James Marsden in a fleece vest is quite the delight, if we do say so ourselves!) "Ben feels like the guy who always does the right thing — someone you could trust," Trayce said. Welp, that *was* true, until we watched the last few seconds of season two, that is!
