Schmidt, will feature Robert De Niro, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, and Connie Britton.

Gathegi's character, Carl, is an intense bureaucrat and devoted supporter of former U.S. President George Mullen, played by De Niro. The limited series, directed by Leslie Linka Glatter, is backed by executive producers Newman, Oppenheim, Schmidt, De Niro, Jonathan Glickman for Panoramic Media, and Glatter herself. Gathegi's notable television credits include Apple TV+'s "For All Mankind," USA Network's "Briarpatch" alongside Rosario Dawson, Crackle's "StartUp," and TNT's "Proof." He has also made appearances on NBC's "The Blacklist" and its spin-off, "The Blacklist: Redemption." On the film front, Gathegi has left his mark with notable roles in "The Harder They Fall," "The Twilight Saga," and "X-Men: First Class," among others. His upcoming projects include the sci-fi drama "Aporia" alongside Judy Greer and Payman Maadi.
