Actor Dominic Cooper is excited about playing the role of famed author Ian Fleming, who wrote the "James Bond" novels.
Cooper will play the role for TV mini-series "Fleming".
"Stepping into the shoes of the man who not only created 007, but who fantasised about being him, has to be every actor's dream," dailystar.co.uk quoted Cooper as saying.
The mini-series will focus on Fleming's life from his career with Naval Intelligence up to the point he wrote "Casino Royale" in 1952.
It will also show the author's romance with his wife Ann Charteris. Her role will be played by actress Lara Pulver.
