Edward Norton Set To Voice Lee Harvey Oswald in Daisy Ridley's TRUE SPIES Podcast Series THE OSWALD PROJECT
Edward Norton is set to voice Lee Harvey Oswald in the True Spies podcast series narrated by Star Wars star Daisy Ridley. The series is titled The Oswald Project, and the script was put together using old interviews and diary entries from JFK’s assassin.
Edward Norton is the perfect fit as Oswald, and it’s a role he could have easily played in a movie when he was younger, but the opportunity never came along.
The Oswald Project tells the “shocking story of the alleged assassin of President John F. Kennedy and Oswald’s relationship with the CIA. It will probe generations-long questions including whether Oswald was being trained by the CIA to become a KGB double-agent, or so he could take the fall for JFK’s murder, and whether he, as he claimed just before his own assassination, was ‘a patsy.’”
Ridley said said in a statement that she has always been “fascinated by the mystery of JFK’s assassination and the character of Lee Harvey Oswald,” and she’s “thrilled to kick off my run as the host of True Spies with this story.”
I enjoy listening to historical podcasts that delve into true crimes of the past. We may have heard this story of Oswald several times already, but this may offer up some additional insight, which would be interesting. The series is set to launch on July 18th, but subscribers to Spyscape+ will be able to hear it sooner, on July 11th.
Previous hosts of True Spies have included Hayley Atwell, Vanessa Kirby and Sophia DiMartino.
