The incomparable Ian McShane has been cast as the lead antagonist in 'Last King of the Cross', a new Australian drama series at Paramount+.
Ian McShane is returning to home turf. The actor, who memorably played the charismatic antagonist Al Swearengen on HBO’s Deadwood, will play a villainous character in the upcoming Australian Paramount+ series Last King of the Cross, Deadline reports. Inspired by John Ibrahim’s best-selling autobiography, Last King of the Cross stars Lincoln Younes in the lead role.
McShane will play the “wily and much-celebrated” Ezra Shipman, who “has a gift for all things business,” and fingers in multiple pies. He oversees illegal gambling, prostitution, and strip joints, and has remained the most powerful and feared man in Sydney for three generations. But with no heir to continue his legacy and no means to maintain his stature, he is forced to confront his looming mortality.
Everything changes when he comes face-to-face with John Ibrahim, described as “an adolescent facsimile of Ezra.” Sensing an opportunity, Ezra takes the “brash, ambitious, and intelligent” young man under his wing, in an attempt to groom him into a worthy successor. But can either of them be sure that they aren’t being exploited by the other?
McShane will reprise his role as Winston, the manager of the Continental Hotel, in the upcoming John Wick: Chapter 4. A younger version of his character will appear in the spinoff series The Continental.
