Keanu Reeves has asked for leniency in the sentencing of his director friend Carl Rinsch, who was found guilty of scamming Netflix out of $11m (£8.2m).
The Matrix actor, who worked with Rinsch on fantasy flop 47 Ronin (2013), wrote a letter to the judge saying that, while he “did not know the details” of the case, he hoped that his sentence “might be tempered with measures of leniency and mercy as well as justice”.
