THE LOOMING TOWER: Peter Sarsgaard To Appear In Hulu Drama

Peter Sarsgaard

Peter Sarsgaard Joins The Cast Of Hulu’s The Looming Tower

Golden Globe-nominated Shattered Glass actor Peter Sarsgaard is the latest name to sign on to Hulu‘s planned original production The Looming Tower.

A veteran of both stage and screen, Sarsgaard has traversed seamlessly between both and made his mark as a respected thespian. Although he made his film debut in 1995’s Dead Man Walking, it was his turn as the man who murders Hilary Swank‘s transgender protagonist in Boys Don’t Cry that really brought him recognition. Since then, he has appeared in projects from 2011’s Green Lantern to last year’s The Magnificent Seven and theatrical productions like The Seagull and Uncle Vanya.

The proposed series, which is based on Lawrence Wright’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book historical nonfiction book of the same name, details the events and interactions that made up the path to 9/11 and examines petty bickering between those in the intelligence community tasked with apprehending Osama Bin Laden and his followers may have led directly to that tragic event.

Per Comingsoon.net, the source of this story:

Peter Sarsgaard will play Martin Schmidt, a CIA analyst who invariably believes he’s by far the smartest person in the room. Under orders to share intelligence with John O’Neill (Daniels) and the FBI, Schmidt opts instead to horde information under the misguided notion that the CIA is the only agency equipped to battle potential terrorist threats.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
