The one-time Academy Award nominee and two-time Emmy-winning actor made his debut in Paramount and Hasbro’s Transformers Cinematic Universe in 2014’s Age of Extinction. His character, who Tucci portrayed as an egomaniac, was responsible for KSI dissecting Autobots so that the company could manufacture human-engineered Transformers.
Tucci’s other acting credits include The Devil Wears Prada, The Hunger Games, Beauty and the Beast, BoJack Horseman, and Spotlight.
