When Joe Exotic launches on Peacock (hopefully with the same momentum as Netflix’s Tiger King), it will feature an impressive cast of actors taking on some of the more larger-than-life characters involved in the world of big cats and the years-long feud between Carole Baskin and Joe “Exotic” Maldonado-Passage, one which could have potentially led to murder.
Nat Wolff and Sam Kelly will be playing two of Exotic’s husbands: Travis Maldonado and John Finlay, respectively.
According to Deadline, Kate McKinnon is set to take on the role of big cat enthusiast Baskin, with John Cameron Mitchell portraying her charismatic and unique adversary.
Dennis Quaid will step in as Rick Kirham, Exotic’s reality show producer, and Brian Van Holt will take on the role of John Reinke, one of the less wild figures in the Netflix docuseries.
