EXCLUSIVE: Emmy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award winner Paul Walter Hauser has signed with WME for representation.
Hauser is perhaps best known for starring opposite Taron Egerton in Apple TV+’s crime drama Black Bird, for which he received an Emmy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award, in addition to a SAG Award nomination. Most recently, he was seen starring in drama The Luckiest Man in America, which premiered at last year’s Toronto Film Festival and had a theatrical release via IFC Films in April.
Hauser has quite a packed slate, looking ahead to the rest of the year. First up is Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is slated to hit theaters on July 25. Subsequently, he has Paramount Pictures’ comedy The Naked Gun, revitalizing the classic franchise of the same name, on August 1, and the Western crime thriller Americana on August 22. He stars opposite Sydney Sweeney in the latter title from director Tony Tost, which has had a long path to theaters, having ultimately been picked up for distribution by Lionsgate a year after its premiere at SXSW. This fall, Hauser will be seen starring alongside Jeremy Allen White in Deliver Me from Nowhere, the Bruce Springsteen biopic from 20th Century Studios that releases on October 24.
Recently wrapping production on Amazon MGM Studios’ action comedy Balls Up from filmmaker Peter Farrelly, Hauser is currently in production on Brian Swibel’s comedic thriller The Very Best People, and remains in development on New Line’s Chris Farley biopic, Farley.
Other notable credits for the actor include I, Tonya, BlacKkKlansman, Richard Jewell, The Instigators, Netflix’s Cobra Kai, Disney’s Cruella, Queenpins, Da 5 Bloods, and The Afterparty, to name just a few. Last year heard voicing characters in Pixar’s smash Inside Out 2 and Netflix’s Orion and the Dark, the actor continues to be repped by Artists First, The Lede Company, and Schreck Rose.
