Synopsis

The Tragic Genius is a character-driven, six-part miniseries chronicling the meteoric rise and tragic decline of John Cazale, the actor who, despite appearing in only five films, left a legacy that resonates across generations. Known for his soul-deep portrayals in The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon, and The Deer Hunter, Cazale’s roles were fewer but deeper, leaving an indelible mark on some of cinema's most iconic scenes and unforgettable characters. Set against the electrifying backdrop of 1970s New York City, a time of both cultural revolution and gritty realism, The Tragic Genius dives into Cazale's journey—from his early days in the New York theater scene to his career-defining roles alongside legends like Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Meryl Streep. Through flashbacks and interwoven timelines, we explore the passion and pain that fueled Cazale’s craft, following his lifelong friendship with Al Pacino, his romantic relationship with Meryl Streep, and his battles with cancer that brought heartbreak to those who loved him and an untimely end to his career.
