See AllBilly Magnussen, Simon Helberg and more stars from AMC’s “The Audacity” convened for Variety‘s Behind the Show presented by AMC to discuss what drew them to the dark comedy and its extreme relevance today.
Magnussen stars as Duncan Park, an “audacious data-mining CEO,” and explains that he was eager to join “The Audacity” in part due to its creator, Jonathan Glatzer. “In 20 years of being in this industry, I’ve never come across a script like that,” said Magnussen. He was also intrigued by the Silicon Valley-set show’s premise, which revolves around a cast of characters typical of those in the tech bubble: “We all have the ability to be so audacious in our daily lives, and its whether or not you cross that threshold,” he said.
