Michael Douglas as Benjamin Franklin in 'Franklin'
The Big Picture Michael Douglas made a glorious return to our screens as Benjamin Franklin in the captivating Apple TV+ drama, Franklin. The series transports us to a critical moment in December 1776, highlighting a pivotal episode in Franklin's life. At 70 years old, with no formal training in diplomacy, Franklin undertakes a vital mission to France during the tumultuous early days of the American Revolution.
The series also features Noah Jupe as Temple Franklin, Thibault de Montalembert as Comte de Vergennes, and Daniel Mays as Edward Bancroft, with Ludivine Sagnier, Assaad Bouab, Jeanne Balibar, and Theodore Pellerin playing significant roles. The show boasts an impressive creative team, including Emmy and WGA Award-winning writer and executive producer Kirk Ellis , alongside Howard Korder , who has been nominated for multiple prestigious awards.
It was very impressive to see a guy who's well-trained, and he is gonna have a wonderful career, I think. He has the discipline and the concentration and the ambition. So, he was a treat . It was a wonderful parallel as Temple comes over with Franklin to France, and I'm dealing in these political areas, negotiating, and he immerses himself with Lafayette and some other young studs in Paris at the time, this whole other intrigue of the world.
