Paul Dano joins Steve McQueen’s new HBO show
Seven years after doing his best to impede one man’s psychotic quest for money and power in There Will Be Blood, Paul Dano has joined Codes Of Conduct as a character who actually helps another person in their quest for money and power. As we’ve previously reported, the show was created by Steve McQueen—the director, not the beloved Hollywood actor from The Vampire Diaries—and it stars Devon Terrell as Beverly Snow, a young black man who manages to break into New York’s high society through sheer force of self-confidence. Deadline adds that he’s “as talented as he is ambiguous,” which probably means that he has some kind of dark edge underneath all of that self-confidence. It’s hard for us to say, though, because he’s so ambiguous.
