Robert De Niro Eyes Mini TV Series

US actor Robert De Niro (79, “The Irishman”) would like to appear in front of the television cameras for a mini-series. The Oscar winner is said to be starring in the series Zero Day planned by the Netflix streaming service, according to the US industry journal Variety on Wednesday. A spokesman for De Niros confirmed this at the request of the German Press Agency.

Details about the content of the political thriller series are not yet known. However, “Variety” claims to have learned that De Niro is supposed to play a former US President. The actor is also on board as an executive producer, it said.

The two-time Oscar winner (“Raging Bull”, “The Godfather II”) has only appeared in a few TV productions, including 2017 in the TV movie “The Wizard of Lies” in the role of billionaire fraudster Bernie Madoff. His appearance in Zero Day would be De Niro’s first series role, according to Variety.
