According to county officials, HBO turned Courtroom 15 in the Fronefield building into a courtroom for a pivotal scene featuring Ruffalo.

"During the film shoot, several County employees had a chance to meet Ruffalo who enjoyed lunch outside in the County Courtyard area in between movie shoots," the county said. "Some even got a chance to get a selfie with the famous actor. Later, as the sun was setting a second scene was also filled in front of the Courthouse."
