Diplo really found his spirit animal in Tiger King star Joe Exotic. The similarities between the two -- charismatic blondes guided by their passion for music and relentless pursuit of success -- are indeed real.It thus makes sense that Diplo is bummed that he wasn't tapped to play Joe in the upcoming scripted television show based on the seedy, bats--t crazy Tiger King saga, with the role instead going to Nicolas Cage.But this doesn't mean Diplo isn't tracking time on the big screen.

Ever since it was announced that Nicolas Cage will play the role of Tiger King’s Joe Exotic in an upcoming scripted series, fans have been flipping out.

The actor will feature as the eccentric zookeeper, whose real name is Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, in an eight-episode series. This will mark Cage’s debut in the Television industry. The makers have not announced the title of the upcoming show yet.
