According to IMDb, William cast Billy to play a mystery role in his upcoming third feature directorial effort The Auction alongside his mother Mary-Louise Parker as well as Audra McDonald, Richard Kind, and Raúl Castillo. Parker wrote and produced the 'wild' indie sci-fi horror spectacle about a corporate auction company, which is a loose adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1939 mystery novel And Then There Were None. The River Styx Productions founder also enlisted his 18-year-old sister Ash Parker, whom the 60-year-old Emmy winner adopted from Ethiopia in 2007, to compose an original song for The Auction.

'I'm trying to get through it but I'm by myself every night and every morning and no one, nothing helps. I'm sorry I yelled. I can't get my shoes on anymore. Please, I know I am awful, it's been made clear but look at me please.' Mary-Louise concluded of their seven-year romance: 'I realize now that whatever I was walking through was part of my life, one piece of a bigger story that is mostly beautiful.' And in 2009, Parker directly addressed the scandal in More Magazine: 'I've never commented on the situation, and I won't because it's not fair to my son. Your love for your child should eclipse any other feelings you have for another person.' On April 7, Billy and Claire enjoyed an affectionate reunion at Cipriani South Street in Lower Manhattan during the NYU Tisch Gala, which raised over $1.7M in support of student needs. 'I was just in love with him. And needed to explore that and I was 24. I didn't quite know what those consequences would be,' Danes admitted on The Howard Stern Show in 2015. '[The backlash] was a scary thing. That was really hard. I didn't know how to not do that. It's OK. I went through it. We're friendly — we're friends.' The Homeland alum has been married to her Stardust leading man Hugh Dancy since 2009 and Crudup has been married to his Gypsy leading lady Naomi Watts since 2023.

Suchard remarked: 'People around the world always ask me two things: 'How do you do it?' and 'How did it all begin?' So together with Dori Media, we created a series that's real, authentic and totally made up, but will definitely answer those questions.' Suchard is renowned for his one-of-a-kind performances for A-list celebrities, top business moguls, primetime TV specials and events for Fortune 500 companies in over 90 countries. Created by Elad Chen, Suchard, Michael Stern, Shlomit Arviv and directed by Aaron Geva and Mickey Triest, the series targets young viewers who will get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at mentalism – a craft that, contrary to popular belief, doesn't involve reading minds.
