Billy Magnussen is the lead actor in the yet-untitled Silicon Valley series from AMC and AMC+. Produced by AMC Studios, the drama is set in the bubble of Silicon Valley, amid misguided corporate cultures, lunar innovation labs and cutthroat private schools. Magnussen joins previously cast Sarah Goldberg.
It centers on a rift between a self-proclaimed "inventor of the future", tech CEO (Magnussen, pictured) and his egotistical 'performance psychologist' (Goldberg), who are embroiled in a scandal caused by the exploitation of personal data.
Magnussen plays Duncan, co-founder of a data collection company in Silicon Valley.
Jonathan Glatzer and Gina Mingacci are executive producers of the series, one of several high-profile Silicon Valley dramas in development over the past year and the first to be greenlit.
Magnussen recently starred in HBO's superhero film satire The Franchise by Sam Mendes and Armando Iannucci. He also appeared in HBO Max's Made for Love, CBS All Access's Tell Me a Story (2018) and Netflix's Maniac (2018), among others.
