The Borgias

Citation :

Dutch actress Lotte Verbeek will play opposite Jeremy Irons in the upcoming Showtime mini-series The Borgias. Verbeek will play Giulia Farnese, one of Rodrigo Borgia’s young mistresses. Farnese was known for her beauty and was an inspiration for many of the 15th century masters. It is said that Raphael’s portrait “Young Woman With Unicorn” was inspired by Farnese.

According to Verbeek’s agent Jeremy Conway, casting was decided because of Verbeek’s strong resemblance to portraits of the real-life Guilia Farnese.

Last year the 28 year old won the best actress prize at Locarno for playing opposite Stephen Rea in Nothing Personal (a film by Urszula Antoniak). Verbeek was also picked as a European Shooting Star at the Berlin Film Festival in February (a programed aimed at finding new talent throughout Europe and bringing them mass attention) .

Verbeek is currently in Budapest filming The Borgias. Filming began on 23 July and will continue into December.

EMMANUELLE CHRIQUI TO GUEST STAR IN NEW EPIC DRAMA SERIES, PREMIERING IN SPRING 2011 ON SHOWTIME®

LOS ANGELES, CA – (September 22, 2010) – Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage) will guest star on the new SHOWTIME drama series THE BORGIAS in three episodes as “Sancia,” the beautiful and seductive Neapolitan princess who marries the Pope’s youngest son Joffre (Aidan Alexander), even though she has her eye on another Borgia brother. The series is headlined by Academy Award® winner Jeremy Irons and is currently shooting in Budapest for a Spring 2011 premiere.

THE BORGIAS is a complex, unvarnished portrait of one of history’s most intriguing and infamous dynastic families. The series begins as the family’s patriarch Rodrigo (Irons), becomes Pope Alexander, propelling him, his three Machiavellian sons Cesare (Francois Arnaud), Juan (David Oakes), Joffre (Aidan Alexander) and his scandalously beautiful daughter, Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger) to become the most powerful and influential family of the Italian Renaissance. Joanne Whalley also stars as Vanossa, the mother of Rodrigo’s children.

AIDAN ALEXANDER is from Bournemouth, England and has previously appeared in a Nestle Wholegrain Cereal commercial; the short film The Time Traveller, directed by Tom Cliffe; the short film The Run, directed by Tristan Casey and has appeared in the musical Footprints of Africa at the Lighthouse Theatre in Poole, England. He is represented by Abacus Agency and the Elliott Brown Agency.
