Deadline reports that Deadpool 2 actor Rob Delaney has signed on to join the ensemble cast of director Jay Roach’s upcoming Roger Ailes biopic Fair and Balanced.
The film is described mostly as an ensemble piece, with the majority of the focus being on former Fox News chief Roger Ailes (John Lithgow, The Crown) and his ultimate downfall that came about after a number of women, including Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman) and Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron), sued him for harassment.
Ailes was fired from Fox News within weeks of Carlson’s suit after several more women came forward with similar allegations of sexual misconduct.
Emmy award nominated actress Connie Britton has also been cast as Roger Ailes’ wife.
