The actor leads “ Dope Thief ,” a new Apple TV+ series from creator and executive producer Peter Craig that sees him play a career criminal who impersonates a DEA agent as part of a larger plot to rob a drug den. The series hails from Ridley Scott, who directs the pilot and serves as an executive producer through his Scott Free production company.
