Ricky Martin Joins Cast of 'Versace: American Crime Story'
Ricky Martin will be livin' la vida Versace.
The singer is joining the cast of "Versace: American Crime Story," the third season of Ryan Murphy's anthology true crime drama. He'll play Antonio D'Amico, the longtime partner of murdered fashion designer Gianni Versace (Edgar Ramirez).
Penelope Cruz and Darren Criss are also on board — the former as Gianni's sister, Donatella, and the latter as serial killer Andrew Cunanan. The show is based on Maureen Orth's book "Vulgar Favors: Andrew Cunanan, Gianni Versace, and the Largest Failed Manhunt in U.S. History" and chronicles the 1997 murder of the designer.
Martin has worked with Murphy before, when he played a Spanish teacher on "Glee."
"Versace" will be one of two "American Crime Story" seasons on FX in 2018. Season 2, titled "Katrina: American Crime Story," focuses on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Matthew Broderick and Annette Bening are signed on to star.
