Matthew Modine Stranger Things
He appeared as Dr. Martin Brenner in the Netflix original series Stranger Things. Dr. Martin Brenner, played by Matthew Modine, was a prominent character in the first and fourth seasons of the hit TV series Stranger Things. He worked as a research scientist and the Director of Operations at Hawkins National Laboratory, where he was involved in controversial experiments and projects including as Project MKUltra.
Brenner discovered Henry’s psychokinetic powers in 1959 and crippled him with an implanted chip. Eleven overcame Henry in 1979, forcing him to disappear. Brenner put Eleven’s powers to the test with experiments, which resulted in a creature from another realm fleeing Hawkins. Brenner was fired as lab director in 1983 and was replaced by Dr. Sam Owens. Brenner was mistakenly assumed dead when the facility was closed down in 1984. Brenner and Dr. Owens founded the Nina Project in 1986 to reawaken Eleven’s talents. Eleven’s powers were restored, but Brenner persisted on pushing them beyond their prior limits. Brenner was killed when the US military raided the facility.

Matthew Modine Too Big to Fail
He appeared as John Thain in the 2011 American biographical drama television film Too Big to Fail. The mortgage sector crisis in 2008 triggered the forced sale of Bear Stearns to JPMorgan Chase and the failure of Lehman Brothers. The bank’s stock price dropped, and Lehman Brothers attempted to strike a transaction with Korean investors, but the deal fell through owing to toxic real estate. The most promising US bidder, Bank of America, was disinterested. The US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York sought to persuade banks to finance the purchase, but British authorities prevented them. The failure of Lehman Brothers impacted the whole financial sector. Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, recommended purchasing toxic assets from banks in order to enhance cash reserves. The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was established, but banks did not employ the loan funds as planned, instead rewarding executives with hefty bonuses. The stock market fell further until 2009, indicating the conclusion of the crisis.
