Too Old To Die Young: Amazon Taps Billy Baldwin For New Crime Series

Writer/director Nicolas Winding Refn (Neon Demon, Drive) took to Instagram to announce actor Billy Baldwin (Backdraft, Dirt Sexy Money) has joined the cast of the upcoming Amazon original crime drama series, Too Old to Die Young. Written by series director Refn and Ed Brubaker (Captain America: Winter Soldier, Westworld), Baldwin will star alongside Miles Teller (Whiplash, Thank You for Your Service) in a series that explores the criminal underbelly of Los Angeles by following killers' existential journeys in becoming samurai.

Here's a look at Refn's Instagram post:

Aside from Teller's Martin, a police officer entangled in the world of assassins, not much is known of Baldwin's character or of the other cast members. Joining Teller and Baldwin on the production are Jena Malone (Sucker Punch, Hatfields & McCoys), John Hawkes (The Sessions, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Cristina Rodlo (2091, El Vato), Augusto Aguilera (Snowfall, The Predator), Nell Tiger Free (Game of Thrones), Babs Olusanmokun (Black Mirror, The Defenders) and Callie Hernandez (Alien: Covenant, Graves).

"I'm a huge fan of Nic's work, so the opportunity to work with him, and for a company like Amazon, with this type of material is very exciting." – Miles Teller
