The veteran actor, who previously played a man who becomes the president in Designated Survivor, has been tapped to play President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Showtime’s upcoming anthology series The First Lady.
Set through multiple time periods, The First Lady delves into the history of American leadership through the point of view of some of history’s most revered First Ladies.
“The First Lady fits perfectly within the Showtime wheelhouse of drama and politics, revealing how much personal relationships impact both domestic and global events.”
A premiere date hasn’t yet been set by Showtime for The First Lady.
