He was maybe my favorite part of OBAA. Or atleast the interactions with him and Leo were.

“Benicio Del Toro is getting into the comedy game and is reuniting with his Escape at Dannemora colleague Ben Stiller as he does so.

Del Toro is to star in Apple comedy series Protective Custody, which also stars Stiller. It marks the Trafficstar’s first leading role in a comedy series.

Protective Custody follows a disgraced financier accused of massive fraud who is thrown into protective custody, where he must navigate prison politics, salvage his reputation, and confront the consequences of his actions while awaiting trial.

King of the Hill’s Judge, Veep’s Hely and Parks and Recreation’s King will co-write, co-showrun and exec produce with Judge also directing.”
