Paul Giamatti Credits The Holdovers Awards Season Success for 'Getting to Do Fun Stuff' with Black Mirror and Star Trek (Exclusive)

Paul Giamatti credits 'The Holdovers' awards season success, which includes his second Oscar nomination, for him now "getting to do fun stuff" with horror and sci-fi projects like 'Black Mirror', 'Star Trek' and 'Hostel.'

Paul Giamatti is no stranger to the screen, thanks to an award-winning career that has seen him find success both in movies and on television, in everything from HBO's John Adams to Showtime's Billions and Sideways to his Oscar-nominated roles in Cinderella Man and The Holdovers. Joining Black Mirror for season 7, the actor stars in the "Eulogy" episode, which, according to Netflix, tells the story of a lonely man who is forced to "re-examine a heartbreaking relationship from his past" after he's asked to participate in "an innovative system that enables users to literally step into photographic memories." A few months later, THR announced that filmmaker Eli Roth was working on a TV adaptation — an "elevated thriller" and "reinvention" — of his hit horror film, with Giamatti set to star "in a key role."
