Hank Azaria joins HBO’s The Wizard Of Lies
Hank Azaria will soon be talking to (and Ponzi-scheming with) Robert De Niro as Variety reports the actor has just signed on to HBO’s Bernie Madoff movie, The Wizard Of Lies. De Niro is playing Madoff and Azaria will play Frank Dipascali, who was Madoff’s right-hand man. Dipascali wasn’t just privy to Madoff’s fraud—he seemed to be an enthusiastic participant as the self-proclaimed “director of options trading” and “chief financial officer.” When the jig was up, Dipascali pled guilty but died before he could be sentenced.
