Actors Tim Matheson and Cynthia Nixon are set to portray US President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy in the forthcoming TV adaptation of "Killing Reagan".
The film is the latest in the National Geographic Channel's Killing series, based on the books by political pundit-turned-author Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard. The stories all explore the assassinations and/or deaths of historic figures, reported Deadline.
"Killing Reagan" will be slightly different from the previous Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, and Killing Jesus movie installments as a 1981 attempt on the actor-turned-US leader's life was unsuccessful.
O'Reilly will also take on a small role in the TV film, which will begin production in Atlanta, Georgia in the coming weeks.
It is scheduled to premiere in the US in October.
