Guy Burnet is poised for a breakout year in 2025, with four major releases on the horizon — Odyssey (SxSw), FUBAR (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Reykjavík (Jeff Daniels), and The Beast (Samuel L. Jackson).

He was recently seen in Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning global masterpiece Oppenheimer and delivered a standout performance as the lead in Amazon's sci-fi thriller The Feed, co-starring David Thewlis. Burnet also shared the screen with Academy Award winners Christoph Waltz and Willem Dafoe in Walter Hill's Dead for a Dollar, which premiered to a standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival.

Burnet first made waves on Broadway with a critically acclaimed, electrifying performance in Murder in the First, which led to a role opposite Johnny Depp, Ewan McGregor, and Gwyneth Paltrow in the action-comedy Mortdecai.

He went on to earn prominent roles in acclaimed television series including Counterpart (opposite J.K. Simmons), Ray Donovan, The Affair, and Amazon's Hand of God and Electric Dreams. His performance in Electric Dreams inspired Amazon to build a limited series — The Feed — around him, with Burnet in the lead role.

On the big screen, Burnet starred in Universal's global box office hit Pitch Perfect and has since built a diverse and evolving body of work, culminating in 2022's psychological thriller Bed Rest, where he starred opposite Melissa Barrera.

With a slate of high-profile projects ahead and collaborations underway with some of the industry's most visionary filmmakers, Guy Burnet is quickly establishing himself as one of the most dynamic talents to watch.

Reviews

Theater NYC

Guy Burnet, providing a star-making performance in his U.S. theatre debut. Burnet gives a bold, emotionally-charged performance, His performance is astonishingly three-dimensional: naïve, intelligent, gallant, timid, rash, suave, adorable, fiery.

The Times

Guy Burnet offers a performance of unquestionable veracity. He’s so good, you simply accept him as the brilliant, dogged, naïve Henry. Realizations flicker across his face, a pause before responding to verbal attack creates naturalistic timing, you can practically hear him think, and certainly feel the actor seethe. Burnet is as dynamic during trial as he is quietly attentive when struggling with Willie. An actor to watch.
