Stuhlbarg, known for his onscreen work in A Serious Man, Call Me by Your Name, Dopesick and Boardwalk Empire, among many others, is due to appear onstage in Patriots as Boris A. Berezovsky, a Russian billionaire trying to recruit a then-unknown Vladimir Putin in 1991 to run for president and then facing increasing pressure after having a falling out with Putin. He has previously appeared on Broadway in several productions, including Martin McDonagh’s 2005 play, The Pillowman.

Patriots, written by Peter Morgan, creator of the Netflix series The Crown, is scheduled to begin previews Monday and open April 22. Netflix is a producer on the production.
