casting details
To play Sam Altman, an actor needs quiet intensity, intelligence, and emotional control. Altman is soft-spoken, measured, and driven, with a calm exterior that hides real tension. The role calls for someone who can show subtle power shifts, internal conflict, and the weight of leading a groundbreaking company.
Andrew Garfield fits the part well with his ability to convey vulnerability and pressure. Other strong choices include Paul Dano, who excels at reserved but intense characters, Joseph Gordon-Levitt for his thoughtful presence, and Rami Malek for his quiet complexity. The role needs someone who can lead a room without raising their voice.
