Hank Azaria joins 'Wizard of Lies' cast

Emmy Award-winning actor Hank Azaria has joined Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Alessandro Nivola in "Wizard Of Lies".

The 51-year-old actor will play Frank Dipascali in the movie about disgraced financier Bernie Madoff, reported Deadline.

Dipascali, Bernies right-hand man in the Ponzi scheme, referred himself as the "director of options trading" and "chief financial officer" for Madoff Investment Securities LLC.

He pled guilty but died in May 2015 before his sentencing.

Directed by Barry Levinson, the film is written by Sam Levinson, Sam Baum and John Burnham Schwartz based on the book Wizard Of Lies by Diana Henriques.
