Quick Links Michael Douglas' remarkable career dates back over half a century, with his Academy Awards win for Best Actor for Wall Street making just a small slice of his celebratory cake. Now at 80 years of age, Douglas is still flying, with recent years marking his introduction to the MCU in Ant-Man and the hit Netflix series The Kominsky Method.
Who Stars in 'Franklin'? Close It is undeniable that Franklin's most important casting inclusion, and perhaps the series' biggest draw, is the double Academy Award-winner Michael Douglas in the titular role. Despite being 80 years old, the Wall Street actor is showing no signs of slowing down with this upcoming project marking a change of genre for Douglas, with the man himself admitting he'd never really tackled a period piece before.
What Is 'Franklin' About? The upcoming historical drama is based on Stacy Schiff's 2005 book A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America, which details what was arguably the Founding Father's greatest achievement in representing the US in France during the heights of the American Revolution, working his charismatic genius in Europe for eight long years.
