Since “Tiger King” appeared on Netflix a couple of months ago, people around the world have drawn the attention of eccentric zoo owner Joe Exotic (57).
Especially the dispute with controversial animal protection activist Carole Baskin, whom many suspect killed her husband, has fascinated viewers.
Exotic is now serving a prison sentence of more than 20 years for planning the murder of Carole Baskin, as well as several cases of animal abuse. Behind the walls, he has little information about the fame he has always wanted.
However, he is allowed to live on screen, he must be played by a ruined Hollywood star, none inferior to Nicolas Cage.
