The Iron Claw
"There’s also a great scene — the best in the movie — featuring Aaron Dean Eisenberg as “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, one of the greatest and most recognizable competitors in wrestling. In his short screen time, Eisenberg does a stunning imitation of Flair and, as the Nature Boy often did in real life, delivers a gigantic jolt of energy."

"A late-film appearance from Ric Flair, a one-scene-wonder masterclass thanks to Aaron Dean Eisenberg"
The Iron Claw
“In a late episode of “The Deuce,” two young men (Chris Coy & Aaron Dean Eisenberg), blissful, curl up after sex. One lover praises the other for his brand-new fame—strangers drove miles to see him. “That’s worth celebrating, baby,” he says. His partner scoffs: “Like it’s normal to watch people fucking on film.” The other man gazes up, as if spotting a new constellation, and says, softly, “Maybe it is.” It’s one of many intimate exchanges in “The Deuce,” a sweet rarity for HBO: a drama full of hardcore sex and violence, but one with an elastic generosity, a willingness to see even the ugliest phenomena through curious eyes.”
The Deuce
“Extrapolating from the beautiful depiction of the gay community, told in tangential glimpses and through the complexly-performed relationship between businessman Paul (Chris Coy) and AIDS-stricken actor Todd (Aaron Dean Eisenberg), 42nd Street’s interconnectedness is masterfully displayed.”

“Burns is the show’s relatively calm center, leaving the scene-stealing to guys like Rapaport, and Aaron Dean Eisenberg as Mr. O’s bodyguard”
Public Morals
“Meanwhile, Paul (Chris Coy) tries to support his partner, Todd (Aaron Dean Eisenberg), as he battles AIDS. The downside to Simon tackling this dark period in history is that there’s no way to devote as much time to it as it deserves. Still, it would feel wrong not to cover this issue in a show about the New York sex industry in the 1980s, and The Deuce handles the material gracefully, with many of the season’s most affecting scenes surrounding Paul and Todd. “
