Guy Burnet is building serious Hollywood momentum, and now he has the U.S. agency muscle to match it. The British actor, who broke out with the role of Charlie Newsom in Taylor Sheridan’s smash Paramount+ series Landman, has signed with Paradigm Talent Agency for U.S. film and TV theatrical representation.
In Landman Season 2, Burnet’s Charlie becomes a love interest to attorney Rebecca Falcone (Kayla Wallace) and plays a key role in Tommy’s business dealings with wealthy widow Cami Miller (Demi Moore), with his arc set to deepen further in Season 3.
Off screen, his slate is stacked. He recently wrapped the erotic thriller Scorn opposite Adria Arjona, and stars in The Brink of War, a retelling of the 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit, alongside Jeff Daniels, opening August 14. He also appears in actioner The Beast with Samuel L. Jackson.
Paradigm, which has been steadily expanding its theatrical roster, recently signing Anderson Silva and Busy Philipps for representation, adds Burnet to a growing slate of in-demand talent.
On the management side, Burnet continues with Lasher Group, The Way for UK representation, and The Initiative Group handling publicity.
Takeaways
Burnet’s Paradigm signing is a textbook case of a breakout role converting to real industry leverage. Joining a high-profile franchise like Landman opened the door, but it’s the back-to-back film bookings (Scorn, The Brink of War, The Beast) that show he’s actively converting that visibility into a proper film career. Paradigm’s push into cross-over and international talent makes Burnet a natural fit.
With The Brink of War hitting theaters August 14 and The Beast also in the pipeline, could Burnet be setting up for a leading-man breakout in 2026? Does landing U.S. agency representation signal that Burnet is shifting his career’s center of gravity from the UK to Hollywood?
