PanARMENIAN.Net - National Geographic Channel has found its Lee Harvey Oswald, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Battle Los Angeles' Will Rothhaar has been tapped to play the assassin in the network's two-hour movie Killing Kennedy, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

He joins a cast that includes Rob Lowe as President John F. Kennedy, Ginnifer Goodwin as Jacqueline Kennedy and Michelle Trachtenberg as Marina Oswald. Rothhaar is the final of the four major players in the adaptation of Bill O'Reilly's novel.

The drama marks the latest adaptation from O'Reilly's collection of best-sellers, and comes four months after Killing Lincoln premiered to 3.4 million viewers.

Killing Kennedy will premiere later this year timed to the 50th anniversary of the assassination. Rothhaar's credits include Last Resort, Listen Up, Fringe, Cold Case, ER and Fox's pilot Wild Blue, which was pushed off-cycle.
