In Paper Empire, Guttenberg plays Saul Burnstein, one of Fintch’s close associates. Saul Burnstein, also known as “Judas”, commits the ultimate act of betrayal once exposing the financial inconsistencies of his boss, Laurence Fintch, to the FBI. Turning Laurence’s children against him and shattering their bond in the process, Saul’s actions leave Fintch, Fintch’s associates, and Fintch’s family in peril as Saul remains unscathed in the eyes of the law. With a mind fond of numbers and personality that must let his grievances be known, his participation in this well-timed revelation, while aligning with his core values, blindsides Fintch as the friendship and loyalty once apparent in their connection is fractured.
