EXCLUSIVE: Matt Smith (House of the Dragon) and Live Schreiber (Ray Donovan) are the newest additions to the cast of Caught Stealing, Darren Aronofsky’s new crime thriller for Sony Pictures.
Details as to the roles they’re playing are under wraps. Oscar nominee Austin Butler leads the ensemble, with Blink Twice helmer Zoë Kravitz and Academy Award winner Regina King also on board for roles, as we were first to report.
Based on the books by Charlie Huston, who adapted the screenplay, Caught Stealing follows Hank Thompson (Butler), a burned-out former baseball player, as he’s unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of ’90s NYC. Aronofsky’s Protozoa is aboard to produce.
Currently, Smith can be seen starring as Prince Daemon Targaryen in HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, which returned for its second season in June and has been renewed for a third. An Emmy nominee for his work on The Crown, the actor previously had a multi-season run as The Doctor on Doctor Who. Additionally, he’s been seen in films like Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho and Ryan Gosling’s Lost River.
Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated for his work on Showtime’s Ray Donovan, Schreiber’s most recent credits include Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, National Geographic’s WWII miniseries A Small Light, Guy Nattiv’s Golda and Steven Soderbergh’s web series Command Z. Up next, the actor will be seen starring alongside Nicole Kidman, Dakota Fanning, Eve Hewson and more in Netflix’s murder mystery series The Perfect Couple, based on the novel by Elin Hilderbrand, which premieres on September 5.
Smith and Schreiber are both represented by UTA. Smith is also repped by B-Side Management in the UK, Maison Two, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman; Schreiber by Untitled Entertainment.
