Henry Thomas Joins ESX Entertainment’s Horror Movie ‘The Necklace’

Selome Hailu Jeffrey Wright has joined the cast of Paramount+ With Showtime‘s upcoming political thriller series “The Agency.” As exclusively reported by Variety, the series is led by Michael Fassbender as Martian, a covert CIA agent. George Clooney serves as executive producer. Wright will play Henry, the CIA’s director of operations overseeing non-official cover agents, and a mentor to Martian.
