The new Netflix series Zero Day features an ensemble cast that’s led by two-time Oscar winner Robert De Niro, who stars as a former U.S. President tasked with getting to the bottom of a deadly string of cyberattacks on America’s infrastructure. Two-time Oscar nominee Angela Bassett co-stars as the current President, who recruits De Niro’s character to lead the investigation. For Bassett, getting the opportunity to work with De Niro was a dream come true, especially in a role in which they’d be seen as equals. (Click on the media bar below to hear Angela Bassett.)
