British actor Guy Burnet has signed with Paradigm for U.S. representation, according to an exclusive report from Deadline. The move comes as Burnet gains wider attention for his role as Charlie Newsom in the Paramount+ series Landman, created by Taylor Sheridan.
Landman centers on fixer Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton, who deals with the high-stakes and often volatile oil industry in West Texas. Burnet’s character was introduced in Season 2 and serves as a love interest for attorney Rebecca Falcone, portrayed by Kayla Wallace. Officials involved with the production have indicated that Charlie will play a key part in Tommy’s dealings with Cami Miller, the wealthy widow played by Demi Moore, with further developments expected in Season 3.
Burnet, who continues to be represented by Lasher Group, The Way in the UK, Erik Hyman at Paul Hastings, and The Initiative Group, recently completed filming on the erotic thriller Scorn opposite Adria Arjona. The project comes from Sarah-Violet Bliss, known for her work on Search Party.
His next screen appearance will be in the political thriller The Brink of War, where he stars opposite Jeff Daniels. The film offers a retelling of the 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit and is scheduled for theatrical release on August 14. Burnet also has a role in the upcoming action film The Beast alongside Samuel L. Jackson.
Industry observers note that Paradigm’s addition to Burnet’s team could open new opportunities in both film and television projects. The agency has a strong track record with talent in high-profile series and major studio releases, though specific plans for Burnet’s future work remain under discussion.
According to the Deadline report, Burnet’s breakout in Landman has positioned him for greater visibility in the U.S. market. The series itself has drawn attention for its portrayal of the oil business and its ensemble cast, which includes established names like Thornton and Moore.
Additional details from cross-verified sources confirm that Burnet retains his existing representation while expanding his U.S. footprint through Paradigm. No immediate comments from Burnet or his new agency were included in the initial announcement.
The actor’s upcoming slate reflects a mix of genres, from political drama to action and thriller projects. The Brink of War in particular taps into historical events, potentially appealing to audiences interested in Cold War-era storytelling.
Production on Season 3 of Landman is expected to build on the character dynamics established in prior episodes. Sources close to the show have described Charlie’s involvement as integral to ongoing business storylines involving Cami Miller.
Burnet’s recent projects also include the wrapped Scorn, which explores intense personal relationships in an erotic context. Details about its release date have not yet been confirmed publicly.
With roles alongside high-profile actors such as Jeff Daniels and Samuel L. Jackson, Burnet appears set for continued momentum. The August 14 release of The Brink of War marks one of the more immediate milestones on his calendar.
Representatives for Paradigm did not immediately respond to requests for further comment on how they plan to guide Burnet’s career trajectory. The signing itself was reported as exclusive by Deadline Hollywood on its website.
Viewers of Landman have seen Burnet’s character evolve from an introduction in Season 2 into a figure tied to both personal and professional threads within the oil industry narrative. This development aligns with the series’ focus on complex alliances and high-pressure negotiations.
Overall, the agency change reflects standard career progression for an actor gaining traction in major streaming and theatrical projects. Burnet’s continued affiliations with his UK and management teams suggest a balanced approach to representation across markets.
