Billy Magnussen for EW. Credit:

After decades in memorable supporting roles (*Bridge of Spies*, *Game Night*, *Into the Woods*, *No Time to Die*, the 2025 live-action version of *Lilo & Stitch*), Billy Magnussen is the big man on campus in AMC's new Silicon Valley satire *The Audacity*.

As tech titan Duncan Park, Magnussen is a ball of stress on the new series (premiering April 12). But at his ** cover shoot, the actor was nothing but smolders and smiles — until he got a little...*punchy*.

Make sure to read our full cover story — with plenty of details from series creator creator-producer-writer Jonathan Glatzer (*Succession**, **Bad Sisters**, **Better Call Saul*) and costars Sarah Goldberg, Zach Galifianakis, Paul Adelstein — but also check out our shots of Magnussen, as well as exclusives from *The Audacity*.
