The actor is sticking with TV for his next role which looks to be his boldest yet; he’ll play David Koresh, the religious sect leader responsible for the massacre of 80 of his followers.
The miniseries is said to hone in on the 51-day siege upon the compound that housed Koresh’s cult.
Considering the lines between film and TV are blurring with every new day, it seems Taylor Kitsch is becoming less and less fussed that his big screen career has been something of a non-starter.
Koresh believed he was the final prophet of the Branch Davidians religious sect; in 1993, he led a deadly standoff with federal agents in Waco, Texas which led to the death of over 80 people.
