American actor Tara Reid may be taking on the role of Carole Baskin, part of the Netflix docuseries ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness’, in an upcoming movie.
According to Fox News, the 44-year-old actor is in talks to star as Baskin, her representative confirmed.
Reid’s representative, Philippe Ashfield said, “I have spoken with producers who are considering Tara for the role in the upcoming production of Tiger King.”
Ashfield continued to say that Reid “loved” ‘Tiger King’ and found it to be “extremely interesting.”
