The twin brothers, famous for suing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over claims that the social network was their idea, will have a cameo in the second season of HBO comedy _Silicon Valley_, according to the _Hollywood Reporter._ The Winklevoss twins, now big investors in Internet crypto-currency Bitcoin, and were portrayed as characters in 2010 film _The Social Network_, in which they were both played by Armie Hammer. In _Silicon Valley,_ however, they will be appearing as themselves, although it is unclear how they will intersect with the show’s fictional tech start-up Pied Piper and its five founders, who are the central characters. The show has incorporated several celebrities from the technology sphere, with TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington, Re/code editor in chief Kara Swisher and even Google chairman Eric Schmidt making appearances in its inaugural season. HBO recently said Evan Spiegel, creator of the photo-sharing app Snapchat, will also have a cameo in the second season. \[[_THR_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/silicon-valley-winklevoss-twins-cameo-784837?utm%5Fsource=twitter)\] ### This Is What Your Facebook Profile Looked Like Over the Last 11 Years  The Original Facebook Group Page, 2004\.
