A bold first lead

At 27, Nicholson—grandson of Jack Nicholson—steps into his first starring role in The Deputy, directed by Matt Sukkar and written by Carlo Bernard. The film opens in theaters, on digital and on demand Sept. 25, marking his move to lead status.

Missing remains and mounting pressure

The trailer follows Nicholson’s Deputy Toby Sawyer after Chief Kreuger (William H. Macy) assigns him to guard a corpse that later disappears. Toby’s frantic search exposes decades of local corruption as colleagues press him to look the other way, while he struggles to clear his name and faces tense moral choices.
