Richard Gere, 74, signs on for his first major role on a TV series with Showtime's The Agency which is being produced by George Clooney


Richard Gere is the latest big name star to turn his attention toward the small screen. The actor, 74, has been cast in the Showtime production The Agency.

'Richard Gere is in a class of his own, adored by generations of fans worldwide for his exceptional ability to infuse depth and authenticity into every role he plays,' said Paramount Global Co-CEO and Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios President/CEO, Chris McCarthy. The political thriller will follow Fassbender's Martian, a covert CIA agent ordered to abandon his undercover life, and report to Gere's Bosko in London. If The Agency follows the same trajectory as The Bureau, the show will focus on those responsible for training and handling deep-cover agents on long-term missions.
