Brian Tee has joined the cast of Kathryn Bigelow‘s next film.
The project, which is cloaked in secrecy, has aligned an impressive ensemble, with Rebecca Ferguson, Idris Elba, Jared Harris, Greta Lee, Anthony Ramos, Tracy Letts, Moses Ingram and Gabriel Basso all set to appear in the movie. The plot is being kept under wraps, and Netflix, which is backing Bigelow’s latest project, has yet to reveal a title, but it is reportedly set at the White House during a national security crisis. The film marks Bigelow’s first feature since 2017’s “Detroit.” Her other notable credits include “Zero Dark Thirty” and “The Hurt Locker,” for which she won an Oscar for best director.
It’s been a busy period for Tee, who recently played the lead villain in the third season of Amazon Prime’s “Reacher.” This year, he also starred opposite Nicole Kidman in the prestige limited series “Expats,” which was directed by Lulu Wang and debuted on Amazon Prime Video.
For eight seasons, Tee appeared as Dr. Ethan Choi on NBC’s “Chicago Med.” He also appeared in several blockbusters, including “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,” “The Wolverine” and “Jurassic World.” In Paramount Pictures’ and Michael Bay’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2,” Tee played Shredder, the Turtles’ chief antagonist.
Other credits include “Finishing the Game,” “We Were Soldiers,” “Austin Powers: Goldmember” and “Fun with Dick and Jane.” On the small screen, Tee was a series regular in “Crash,” a Starz TV series based on the Oscar-winning film, and recurred on the hit NBC series “Grimm,” CBS’s “Hawaii 5-O” and ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy.”
Tee is represented by Authentic Talent & Literary Management, Verve, Behr Abramson Levy Johnson and Shelter PR.
