Before films like director Ron Howard’s 1982 comedy Night Shift or Mr. Mom, another comedy classic with Teri Garr, made him a movie star, Michael Keaton got his start performing comedy on TV shows like Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood or The Mary Tyler Moore Hour.
In Dopesick, Michael Keaton plays Dr. Samuel Finnix, who is horrified by the discoveries linking Big Pharma to America’s opioid crisis.
Keaton is also executive producing the eight-episode limited series, which is now filming and co-stars Peter Sarsgaard, Booksmart’s Katilyn Dever, and Rosario Dawson from The Mandalorian.
Yet, this time, the actor’s latest return to television will be no laughing matter.
