Stephen Tobolowsky joins HBO’s Silicon Valley
The likelihood of viewers yelling out “Ned! Ned Ryerson!” during the next season of HBO’s Silicon Valley has just increased dramatically, because Deadline is reporting that Stephen Tobolowsky has joined the show’s cast. Tobolowsky will play a guy named Jack Barker, and—like most characters on the show—he’ll be “an aggressive and formidable Silicon Valley CEO.” Deadline also says the role will be “recurring” and that Thomas Middleditch “and the guys” will have to “contend” with him, so it sounds like he’ll be a villain of some sort—again, like most characters on the show.
