WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- National Geographic Channel says Hollywood actor Tom Hanks is to be the on-camera narrator for its upcoming "Killing Lincoln" program.
Based on Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard's New York Times best-selling book "Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever," the 2-hour special is being produced by Ridley Scott and the late Tony Scott's Scott Free Productions. It is to air in early 2013, National Geographic Channel President Howard T. Owens said Thursday.
