Anthony Boyle is coming back to our screens and looking very different in his latest role.

The House Of Guinness star is playing the lead in The Altruists, a series based around the rise and subsequent fall from grace of Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of FTX and cryptocurrency firm Alameda Research, and his business partner and one-time girlfriend Caroline Ellison.

Both set out to change the financial system, and at the height of Alameda’s success, Bankman-Fried was among the wealthiest men in America.

When the cryptocurrency exchange collapsed in 2022 amid allegations of fraud, he was accused of stealing $8 billion and arrested on seven counts of criminal activity, including wire fraud, commodities fraud and money laundering, among other charges.

He was subsequently convicted on all seven counts, sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to forfeit $11bn, with Caroline testifying against him in court.

Netflix has just released the first look at The Altruists, which shows Northern Irish actor Anthony looking completely different with a new curly hairdo.

Anthony is starring alongside Ozark and Inventing Anna actress Julia Garner, who has also undergone a transformation for the role.

Also appearing are Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey, Heated Rivalries’ Hudson Williams, and comedian Matt Rife.

The cast also includes Eugene Young, Madison Hu, Karan Soni, Alex Lawther, Naomi Okada, Maddie Hasson, Marianna Phung, Paul Reiser and Robin Weigert.

The Altruists is set to unfold over eight episodes and is due for release on 19 November.
