Coster-Waldau's English-language feature credits include Wimbledon, Black Hawk Down and Firewall. He is repped by Endeavor and Jill Littman at Handprint Entertainment.
The Feldman project, from Warner Bros. TV, revolves around four high-powered CEOs or CEOs-to-be who are all friends. Vartan will play the new CEO of a large corporation who is described as the moral center of the show.
