Fiennes To Star in Transsexual Series

Joseph Fiennes, Blythe Danner, and Robert Wagner are set to star in Ryan Murphy’s FX television series about a man who realizes he’s a transsexual. Fiennes will play Bob, a married man with two sons who undergoes the metamorphosis to eventually become a woman. Wagner will play Bob’s father, Scotch, who shares a gynecological practice with his son; Danner is Bunny, Bob’s mother.

FX and Murphy are still casting the wife and children roles. Production will begin at the end of October.

Cabler greenlit the pilot episode to the Murphy project — formerly known as “4 oz.,” a reference to the average weight of a penis — as well as three additional scripts.
