Following the recent additions of Michael Keaton, William Hurt, and J.C. MacKenzie, Collider reports that Emmy nominee Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley) and Glee alum Max Adler have joined the star-studded ensemble cast of Paramount Pictures‘ forthcoming drama film The Trial of the Chicago 7.
The Trial of the Chicago 7 will be produced by Oscar nominee Marc Platt (Bridge of Spies, La La Land), Stuart Besser, and Tyler Thompson.
Based on a true story, The Trial of the Chicago 7 follows protesters who disrupted the 1968 Democrat party convention with an anti-Vietnam war “carnival” that turned nasty.
Middleditch is best known for his role as Richard Hendricks in HBO’s award-winning comedy Silicon Valley which is currently airing for its sixth and final season.
