FX’s “Far Cry” series has added another player to the game.<\/p>\n
Steve Buscemi has signed on to co-star in the upcoming video game adaptation, TVLine has learned, with Rob Mac and Lizzy Caplan \u2014 who’s also joining Apple TV’s “The Morning Show”<\/a> \u2014\u00a0already in the cast. No details on Buscemi’s character have been released.<\/p>\n The “Far Cry”\u00a0video game franchise launched in 2004 with the PC game “Far Cry,” a first-person shooter with a tropical island setting. The franchise later grew to six games and numerous spin-offs, eventually getting ported over to XBox and PlayStation consoles as well. It also inspired a 2008 film adaptation.\u00a0<\/p>\n FX’s “Far Cry”\u00a0series is co-created by Mac and “Fargo”\u00a0showrunner Noah Hawley, with Mac set to star as well. The series “will retain”\u00a0the video game franchise’s “signature standalone storytelling format with each season set in a new setting following a new cast of characters,”\u00a0the network says.<\/p>\n Buscemi is best known for film roles like “Reservoir Dogs”\u00a0and “Fargo,”\u00a0but he also has an extensive history on the small screen. He played ex-con Tony Blundetto on “The Sopranos”\u00a0and starred as Atlantic City gangster Nucky Thompson on HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire,”\u00a0winning a Golden Globe and earning two Emmy nominations. His other TV credits include “30 Rock,”\u00a0“Miracle Workers,” and “Wednesday.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
