‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ Star Shamier Anderson To Play Controversial Canadian Sprinter Ben Johnson In ‘Hate The Player’ For Paramount+ & GameTV


Shamier Anderson will play Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson in 'Hate The Player' For Paramount+ & GameTV, having appeared in 'John Wick: Chapter 4'.

Airing early next year, Anderson will play the runner who was the world’s fastest man at the 1988 Olympics but was stripped of his medals for doping. Anderson played Mr Nobody / The Tracker in John Wick: Chapter 4, as well as appearing in Simon Kinberg’s Invasion on Apple TV+, which will launch its third season later this year. Getting to do this alongside New Metric Media, who’ve been killing it in comedy, is a real honour, not just as an actor, but as an executive producer with my company, Bay Mills Studios.”
