James Gray directed, wrote the screenplay for the film as well as produced it, basing it off of his own childhood experiences.

The film cast prominent actors like Anne Hathaway, Anthony Hopkins, and Jeremy Strong in pivotal roles alongside Jessica Chastain, Banks Repeta, John Diel, and others in supporting roles.

Set in 1980 Queens, Armageddon Time follows Paul Graff, a Jewish-American sixth grader who befriends Johnny, an African-American classmate. Facing racism and disciplinary actions, Paul is sent to a prestigious private school while Johnny faces foster system visits.

When they try to escape their circumstances by stealing a computer, Johnny takes the blame to protect Paul. As the latter grapples with the consequences, he becomes disillusioned with societal inequality.

The Big Short is a biographical crime drama from the house of Paramount Pictures that released back in 2015.

The cast features prominent actors like Steve Carell, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt in lead roles alongside Jeremy Strong, Marisa Tomei, Finn Wittrock, John Magaro, and others in supporting roles.

Based on true events, The Big Short delves into the complex world of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, following a group of eccentric and astute individuals who foresaw the impending collapse of the housing market. As the global economy teeters on the brink of disaster, these renegade investors decide to bet against the unstable housing market through risky financial instruments.

Jeremy Strong portrays the character of Vinny Daniel, a hedge fund manager and one of the key members of Baum's team, responsible for analyzing and predicting the impending collapse of the housing market and subsequent financial crisis.

The Good Wife is a legal political drama series that aired on CBS between 2009 and 2016. Industry writer-producer couple, Robert and Michelle King created the series and received high praises from critics and audiences for its storytelling and execution, even receiving the title of "the last great drama" from Boston Globe and Rolling Stone.

The Good Wife starred Julianna Margulies, Matt Czuchry, Archie Panjabi, Christine Baranski, Alan Cumming, Chris Noth, and others in pivotal roles throughout the duration of the series. It aired a total of seven seasons till 2016, followed by a spin-off which premiered in 2017.

As she balances her role as a mother and her pursuit of her own legal career, Alicia navigates the complex and often cutthroat landscape of Chicago's legal system.

Jeremy Strong appeared in the second season of the show and played the recurring character of Matt Becker, a pollster who helped out in Peter Florrick's campaign.

The Gentlemen is a classic Guy Ritchie action comedy that released in 2019. The film was both a critical and commercial success, and even spawned a spin-off series from Netflix which is currently in development.

The cast features prominent actors like Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell, Charlie Hunnam, Jeremy Strong, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Eddie Marsan, and others in pivotal roles.

The Gentlemen follows the story of Mickey Pearson, a suave American expatriate who has built a lucrative marijuana empire in London. When he decides to sell his business, chaos ensues as various cunning and colorful characters, including rival gangsters and blackmailers, attempt to seize control. With twist, turns and clever maneuvers, Mickey navigates a treacherous world of double-crosses and power plays to protect his empire.

Jeremy Strong played the character of eccentric billionaire Matthew Berger, who gets involved in the high-stakes world of the Mickey's marijuana empire. The shrewd, enigmatic and unpredictable nature of his character added to the complexity of the situation, in the classic Guy Ritchie style.

These were some of the best titles, according to us, that Jeremy Strong has appeared in during his career. With Succession reaching its conclusion this month, we hope to see more of him in upcoming projects.

Strong is set to produce and star in an upcoming 9/11 series, The Best of Us. However, with no release date announced yet, fans can look back at his earlier works and get to witness the evolution of the star through the years.

247Sports rank: 4-star | 90 rating | No. 194 Overall | No. 23 DL

Recruiting summary: A 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive lineman out of Atlanta Pace Academy, Brown-Shuler committed to the Tigers over fellow finalists Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, South Carolina, Texas A&M, USC and Virginia. He holds 37 reported offers overall. His primary recruiter at Clemson was defensive run game coordinator and defensive tackles coach Nick Eason. He is the eighth commitment for the Tigers in the 2024 recruiting cycle.

Scouting report: "A wide-framed space eater that can battle for gaps on the inside. Burst onto the scene as a youngster, earning top performer honors at the annual FBU Freshman All-American Bowl, and has been an impact player on varsity ever since for one of Atlantas top private schools. Measurements haven't been verified in a few years, but is believed to be hovering somewhere in the ballpark of 6-foot-4, 290 pounds. Has some surprising bend for an individual with his build as he constantly finds leverage and gets up and underneath blockers. Not the longest or most twitched-up interior player, but can offer some value as a pass rusher in certain situations and has plenty of experience working out of multiple techniques in a variety of different fronts. Overall, should be viewed as a power-based defensive lineman that can clog up run lanes and let linebackers get to the ball. Is already pretty burly and thick through the lower body, but likely still to go through a physical transformation of sorts once at the college of his choice as he continues to improve play strength." 247Sports director of scouting Andrew Ivins

247Sports rank: 4-star | 90 rating | No. 232 Overall | No. 24 LB

Recruiting summary: A 6-foot-1, 225-pound linebacker out of Miami Columbus, McGahee committed to the Cornhuskers over offers from Auburn, Indiana, Louisville, Maryland, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse, Tennessee, UCF and West Virginia, among others. He holds 19 reported offers overall. His primary recruiter at Nebraska was defensive coordinator Tony White, while linebackers coach Rob Dvoracek also assisted in his recruitment. He is the fourth commitment for the Huskers in the 2024 recruiting cycle. In 10 games as a junior, he recorded 50 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, eight sacks, four forced fumbles, one safety and one blocked kick.

Scouting report: "A stand-up edge rusher with strong bloodlines that can get after the quarterback. Totaled 13 sacks as a junior while playing in one of the Sunshine States higher classifications and was credited with nearly two dozen more pressures. Size hasnt been verified in a few years, but is built more like a linebacker than a traditional defensive end. Might lack the desired reach, but makes up for his lack of length with his burst and ability to change directions. Experienced in hand-to-hand combat and can win with a handful of different moves out on the perimeter. Must, however, continue to keep evolving as a corner attacker if hes going to reach his full potential and learn how to bring it every single snap. Tweener measurables might not be for everyone, but naturally lower center of gravity combined with an adequate get-off is certainly promising. Could likely be deployed in a variety of different defensive schemes, but skill set might be best suited for a 'Jack' role in a 3-4 front. Will only add more value if he can drop back into coverage and consistently make a difference at the second level." Ivins

Scouting report: "Highly productive tackler with experience playing forward, but also over the top as a deep safety. Posted consecutive 100-tackle seasons as a sophomore and junior, plus five total INTs. Adequate height approaching 6 feet with a fairly stout build. Plays a physical style and hits heavier than listed size of 185 pounds. Tone setter as a tackler. Flashes impressive downhill pursuit speed and closes fast on a line. Plays aware and has shown rangy zone coverage ability. Disruptive at the catch point in contested situations. Best used playing forward as a downhill enforcer. Fits the modern rover/box safety/space backer archetype. Limited testing data suggest room to improve top-end speed and overall athleticism. Sophomore track reps were limited as well. Can improve redirecting suddenness in man coverage and recovery speed when asked to cover downfield. Power Five-caliber modern hybrid safety prospect who plays with a mean streak and corresponding physical nature. Could potentially become a quality multi-year starter, especially in the right scheme fit." 247Sports national scouting analyst Gabe Brooks

Has played split out and can run routes and catch the ball like a wide receiver. Shows twitch and quickness off the line. Changes directions well for a big man and can create separation as a result. Tracks the ball and catches passes away from his body very naturally. Did not post gaudy high school numbers based on his team's offensive system but has been a big-play threat for great program and does a lot of little things well. Has played more unattached and standing up than with his hand down but has the tools and skills to really play in any role in a variety of sets." 247Sports national recruiting analyst Allen Trieu

College football recruiting: Michigan's hot streak highlights this week's Power Five commitments - 247Sports

This time voters will be electing councillors, not MLAs, but becoming the largest party in local government for the first time here in the north, as party president Mary Lou McDonald put it this week, would still be a significant coup for SF.

In all there are around 800 candidates, almost half of whom are destined to fail, because there are 462 seats in all.

As it stands now, the DUP are the biggest party on the Provinces councils, having won 122 seats in 2019 (and 24.1% of the first-preference vote).

Sinn Fein won 105 (and 23.2% of the first-preference vote) followed by 88 seats for the UUP (14.1%), 66 for the SDLP (12%), 53 for Alliance (11.5%) and 13 for the TUV (2.2%) with smaller parties like People Before Profit, the Greens and PUP picking up a smattering of seats too.
