The project has been a hot property going back to when Imagine landed the script and began developing it at the top of the year with every A-list director and star chasing it. Once Guadagnino and Roberts were attached, Amazon moved fast to land the pic and given the star power already involved it’s no surprise top talent like Garfield are now filling out the ensemble.
Stuhlbarg is best known for his role in the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man, which earned him a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture. Other film credits include Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name, Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water, Miss Sloane with Jessica Chastain, Marvel’s Doctor Strange, and more. On the television side, he can be seen in Boardwalk Empire, Transparent, Season Three of Fargo, The Looming Tower, for which he earned an Emmy nomination, Dopesick, for which he earned a second Emmy nomination, The Staircase, and Your Honor. Stuhlbarg is also two-time Tony Award nominee, for his stage performances in Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman (for which he also won a Drama Desk Award) and in Peter Morgan’s Patriots, currently on Broadway.
