E! News can confirm that Dennis Quaid has landed the role of our 43rd president in the upcoming second installment of Ryan Murphy‘s critically acclaimed anthology series, focusing on 2005’s Hurricane Katrina and its devastating aftermath. President Bush’s handling of the crisis in New Orleans following the natural disaster was widely criticized and remains a blemish on his legacy. No further details about Quaid‘s involvement in the series, including episode count, are available at this time.

Quaid joins an all-star roster that also includes Matthew Broderick and Annette Bening. Broderick will star as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Director Michael D. Brown, who was in charge of the government’s response to the crisis. He was given the position by President Bush in 2003 despite not having any qualifications necessary for the job and—historical spoiler alert—resigned following his bungled response to Katrina. Bening, on the other hand, will star as Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco.
