Earlier this month, veteran actor Paul Giamatti was attached to a TV series based on Eli Roth’s Hostel films. But that’s not his only upcoming role in television. The actor has also signed on to Paramount+’s Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series as the show’s main villain.
Via Variety, Giamatti will appear on a recurring basis throughout Starfleet Academy Season 1. No further details were revealed about his character except for the fact that he will have “a sinister connection to the past of one of the cadets.”
Giamatti’s previous film credits include American Splendor, Sideways, The Illusionist, Cinderella Man, Straight Outta Compton, and The Holdovers. He also had a brief cameo as the Rhino in Amazing Spider-Man 2. On television, Giamatti won an Emmy for his performance in the title role of HBO’s John Adams miniseries, and he has lent his voice to Rick and Morty, BoJack Horseman, and Big Mouth.
