Courtesy of Paramount Richard Gere originally turned down the part of Bosko, the CIA’s London bureau chief in Paramount+ series “The Agency,” he tells Variety.
It was only after showrunners Jez and John-Henry Butterworth re-wrote the part following extensive notes from Gere that the screen icon agreed to come on board.
The show, which stars Michael Fassbender as an undercover operative who has trouble adjusting to civilian life, is an adaptation of French Canal+ series “Le Bureau des Légendes” by Éric Rochant. Jeffrey Wright and Jodie Turner-Smith also star in the U.S./U.K. adaptation.
