Just when you thought the wait couldn’t get any longer for HBO’s Aaron Sorkin drama word comes that two intriguing figures will join the cast this June. First up is Jesse Eisenberg, best known for his role as billionaire Harvard grad, Mark Zuckerbuerg. The actor has already worked with Sorkin and knows how to deliver the lines.
