Bill Nighy, the BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor in Love Actually, earned a Best Actor BAFTA in television for State of Play.
His most recent project, Living, premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival(R) in January to critical acclaim. In August 2021, it was announced that Nighy would star in The Beautiful Game, and he can also be seen alongside Johnny Depp in the redemptive thriller Minamata.
In The Man Who Fell to Earth Nighy will play the brilliant Thomas Newton, the first alien to arrive on earth over 40 years ago. Alone and desperate, Newton summons Faraday to complete his original mission. But Newton’s time marooned among human beings has cost him everything, possibly even his sanity.
Based on the Walter Tevis novel of the same name and the iconic film that starred David Bowie, the series will premiere later in 2022.
