Israeli actress Liraz Charchi joins the cast of Doug Liman's Fair Game, says The Hollywood Reporter.The story follows former CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson (Naomi Watts). Plame's status as an operative was severely compromised when Bush administration official Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage leaked her identity to columnist Robert Novak.
Done allegedly because of an editorial that Plame's husband, ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, (Sean Penn), wrote called "What I Didn't Find in Africa" claiming that the administration doctored intelligence on Iraq to make a case for war.
Charhi is set to play the role of Sawsan, an Iraqi doctor living in Cleveland who Plame sends to Baghdad to help gather intelligence on Saddam Hussein's nuclear program.
The catch is that Plame has to bring Sawsan's brother to the U.S.
The film is currently shooting in New York and the Middle East.
