Not only does he look like him, but no one, NO ONE, plays D-Bag Bros better than Adam Scott -

Yup, "Step Brothers" shows him at his D-Bag bro-y best. He also did the same in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", though he did up the D Factor with a beard. He really has a special gift in that department.

Unfortunately he does not look 32 years old anymore. But that's who could pull it off.

And remember, Shkreli is short, so you want a short actor.

Who was that guy who used to play the creepy characters alongside Humphrey Bogart? Saw him in The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca and others.

Edit: Madame Silverspurs nailed it! Peter Lorre is the man.

Need to clean him up a bit first, but he's got some relevant background experience with the courts.
