Up-and-coming actor Harrison Osterfield is set for a key role in Catch-22, Hulu’s high-profile limited series directed by George Clooney. Written by Luke Davies and David Michôd based on the seminal Joseph Heller novel, Catch-22 hails from Paramount Television and Anonymous Content. Set in Italy during World War II, Catch-22 follows the story of the incomparable, artful dodger Yossarian (Christopher Abbott), a bombardier for the U.S. Air Force, who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Osterfield will play Snowden, a tail gunner who does not know what awaits him on his first mission. Osterfield has worked on several short films and will be seen in Lionsgate’s Chaos Walking, set for release in March 2019. He’s repped by Podwall Entertainment and United Agents.
