VIDEO : Russell Crowe Lands First Starring TV Role

Russell Crowe has been cast as Roger Ailes in Showtime?s untitled limited series about the late chairman and CEO of Fox News, which the network confirmed it?s picked up for eight episodes.
The project is based on New York Magazine reporter Gabriel Sherman?s best-selling book on Ailes, ?The Loudest Voice in the Room,? which details Ailes? own rise to power and how he built Fox News into the cable news behemoth it is today.
?In many ways, the collision between the media and politics has come to define the world we live in today,? Showtime president and CEO David Nevins said in a statement. ?We?ve seen this phenomenon depicted on screen as far back as the story of Charles Foster Kane, and it finds contemporary embodiment in the rise and fall of Roger Ailes. With Russell Crowe in the lead role, this limited series promises to be a defining story for this era.?
This will be Crowe?s first-ever starring role on the small screen. Previously he?s made spot appearances in international series like ?Republic of Doyle,? ?Police Rescue? and the Australian soap opera ?Neighbours.?
The Showtime series will focus primarily on the past decade in which Ailes arguably became the Republican Party?s de facto leader, while flashing back to defining events in Ailes? life, including an initial meeting with Richard Nixon on the set of ?The Mike Douglas Show? that gave birth to Ailes? political career.
