Nicolas Cage is set to star as Joe Exotic in a TV miniseries–his first role on the small screen.
The eight-part project will explore how Joe Shreibvogel became Joe Exotic and detail his effort to keep his Oklahoma zoo open.
It’s based on the Texas Monthly magazine article Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey Into the World of a Man Gone Wild.
The Tiger King star is also known as Joseph Maldonado-Passage and is serving a federal prison sentence for his conviction in a murder-for-hire plot and for animal abuse.
