New US series for Sam Worthington

Sam Worthington will star in his first major leading role on US television, opposite Paul Bettany in Discovery’s Unabomber drama, Manifesto.

The eight-episode series, produced by Kevin Spacey and Dana Brunetti’s Trigger Street and Lionsgate Television, tells the story of how the FBI captured Ted Kaczynski (Bettany), one of the most infamous criminal masterminds in the world.

Worthington will play FBI agent Jim “Fitz” Fitzgerald, one of the most decorated profilers in the history of the bureau, whose radical approach to intelligence gathering ultimately took Kaczynski down.
