He also received much praise from fans and critics for his performances in series like Disney+’s Moon Knight and HBO’s Scenes From A Marriage.

Helltown has been adapted into a series by Severance writer Mohamad El Masri, who will also serve as showrunner and executive producer. The other executive producers on the series will include Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey through their Team Downey production banner and Berger.
