Krumholtz will play Al Teller, a record label executive who oversaw the release of “Nebraska.”

From Disney’s 20th Century Studios, “Deliver Me From Nowhere” follows Springsteen during the creation of his 1982 album “Nebraska,” a stripped-down record that marked a creative shift from the anthemic “Born to Run” and “The River.” The movie is currently filming in New Jersey and New York. Springsteen, who is involved in the making of the film, visited the set earlier this week and was photographed hugging White.
“Deliver Me From Nowhere” is directed by Scott Cooper, who wrote the screenplay based on Warren Zanes’ book of the same title. The cast also includes Jeremy Strong, playing Springsteen’s longtime manager Jon Landau, as well as Paul Walter Hauser, Odessa Young, Stephen Graham, Johnny Cannizzaro and Harrison Gilbertson.
Maron is a comedian, actor and the host of the landmark podcast “WTF With Marc Maron,” and his acting credits include Netflix’s wrestling dramedy “Glow,” “To Leslie” and “The Bad Guys.” He’ll next be seen in Apple TV+’s untitled golf comedy opposite Owen Wilson and Justin Kurzel’s crime thriller “The Order.”
Hoffmann, who began her career as a child actor in films such as “Field of Dreams,” “Uncle Buck” and “Sleepless in Seattle,” returned to screen acting in 2007 and nabbed roles in “C’mon C’mon,” “Transparent,” “Louie” and “Girls.”
Krumholtz is an actor whose character work in films such as “Oppenheimer” and “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” has earned acclaim. His credits also include “Slums of Beverly Hills,” CBS’ “Numb3rs” and Disney+’s “The Santa Clause,” and he’ll next be seen in A24’s horror film “Altar.”
Maron is represented by Independent Artists Group, Avalon, 42West and Brecheen Feldman Breimer. Hoffmann’s reps are Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment, The Gersh Agency and Peikoff Mahan Law. Krumholtz is repped by Sarah Fargo at Paradigm and Laura Wilkinson at Brookside Artist Management.
