Rob Lowe and Ginnifer Goodwin have been cast in a forthcoming TV movie about John F Kennedy's assassination.
The actors will star in the National Geographic's Killing Kennedy, which is an adaptation of the non-fiction book by Bill O'Reilly.
Lowe will play President Kennedy, which Goodwin will take on the role of first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Rounding out the cast is Michelle Trachtenberg, who will play Russian-speaking Marina Oswald, the wife of alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
Howard T Owens, president of the National Geographic Channels, said: "We are thrilled to be working with Rob Lowe, Ginnifer Goodwin and Michelle Trachtenberg, three gifted artists whom have responded to this timely, authentic and entertaining material.
"With Killing Kennedy, timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the assassination of JFK, National Geographic Channel continues to bring daring, culturally significant television events to our growing global audience."
Production for the new project begins in June in Richmond, Virginia.
