Sebastian Stan & Jeremy Strong on Playing Donald Trump and Roy Cohn in 'The Apprentice' | EW

[@Tara.]

Sebastian Stan has to be one of the most versatile actors out there. His range is INSANE.

[@Not_Always]

Why do I just not see that? He's not a bad actor, but I wouldn't say he's the most versatile

[@Tara.]

@@Not_Always I would say so, he lost a bunch of his Marvel muscle to play Tommy Lee. He just played a handsome cannibal to a disfigured man and now gained weight to play Trump. He also played Jeff in I’Tonya with Margot Robbie. Every role he has is just so different than the last- not just appearance wise but accents too.

[@Not_Always]

@Tara. changing appearances doesn't equate to being a versatile actor. If you have seen most of his roles, he doesn't go too far from that, range-wise. He might not claim to be, but he very much subscribes to method acting, instead of just acting in many roles. Sorry, but every role he plays he never loses himself enough for me to forget who I am watching.

[@Lovemetender757]

@@Not_Alwaysthis is actually incorrect. Stan is very anti method acting. He’s said this multiple times.

[@Not_Always]

@Lovemetender757 I said that he can pretend he isn't but the process he describes is literally method acting

[@FrakkinToasterLuvva]

*Cohn

[@sjk1940]

@@FrakkinToasterLuvva Of course, duh

[@jordangate7742]

That, I will 100% agree with. He's been overdue for an oscar for at least a decade long now. I saw 3 of his movies once, & found out after that the 3 different characters he played were all the same actor. I thought there's no ****ing way he can be that convincibly opposite. He's a modern day Daniel Day-Lewis. Where I still don't know what Daniel's actual personality is, because he's so good at acting as other people.

[@brycelavender2255]

I agree the best performance I’ve seen in a while

[@olggg9740]

They deserve all the Awards!

[@dakotac180]

Sebastian is becoming like James Mcavoy levels of acting. Just being everywhere and playing wild yet completely different characters for his acting choices. I like that they a picking a part about Trump that makes him the monster he is.

[@francescaa8331]

Yes. He's like wild and out there, trying all sorts of roles. It's cool.

[@flynnstudholme9984]

Except that he's subtle and controlled, unlike McAvoy who is always 'acting'

[@newcamomile]

I feel like Sebastian has made such interesting choices in his film career wrt a theme of bodies and embodiment, and it really stands out with him promoting A Different Man and The Apprentice almost simultaneously. Can't wait to see both movies - I really think he's going to be one of those actors studied in Film Studies syllabi for years to come.

[@LeaJackson-f1v]

I’m gonna see it anyway because I really don’t care what people think or say and I’m gonna see it for myself to put my own opinion on it. I feel like that’s a very fair way to judge a movie.

[@kwill84]

I went in not caring about trump. But wanting to learn more about Roy. Trumps so overexposed at this point but Roy I didn’t know as much and Jeremy was fascinating

I was excited for this film because I think Roy Cohn is a fascinating character. I’m not a fan of Donald Trump and this movie didn’t change my opinion on him, but this is a movie I could watch over and over again stylistically it was great. The performances were incredible, Jeremy Strong deserves a supporting actor nomination because it was absolutely spot on brilliant. Again, like I said, I don’t like Donald Trump and this movie didn’t change my mind about him, but it definitely humanized him. the scenes with his brother were especially sad to watch.

[@spaceman5017]

[@blueelephant4971]

Some of the research on this film was quite shoddy. For instance, Abraham Beane was an old crony of Fred Trump's from the early 1940s where they worked together in the old Madison Democratic club. During the war they took many trips together down to Virginia where Fred Trump made a fortune building housing for the naval construction workers. The idea that Trump needed Roy Cohn's services to get Beane on his side (as the movie showed) is simply ridiculous. The movie also overstates to an absurd degree Cohn's influence on Trump. The biggest influence on Trump was his father who had the same tactic of deny, deny, deny and if you lie enough eventually whatever you say will become the truth. The film's portrayal of Fred Trump as someone who constantly tried to belittle Donald couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, he always praised Donald to the skies and overlooked his faults. Unlike most successful businessmen he was happy to let Donald take all the credit for things that he couldn't have accomplished without Fred. I just wonder if they got two such basic things wrong what else they are misportraying.

[@AdAstra78]

The cheesy posing st the start is so funny. How do these people do it unironically...

[@hm2011100]

Because they’re artists & understand & respect the art of photography & the power of the image. Posing is a form of performance & can communicate ideas & emotion when taken seriously.

[@AdAstra78]

@hm2011100 A befittingly pretentious reply. I understand the principle though, thank you. It's a very fine line though and, as much as I love Jeremy Strong, his 'commitment to his Art' often veers into unintentional self-parody.

[@Bob-fj7lr]

2 things i’d say after seeing it- there’s a level of looking at DJT in this movie and thinking he’s cool and others wouldn’t get that from this movie. The second thing is I can tell this was method acted but ironically they needed to either do more or less here. Like they at times took themselves just too seriously- they're goofballs and even they didn't take themselves that seriously in life. Donald Trump in a sense knows he's a dope.

I empathize with Donald Trump. He was molded into a monster by abusers and he followed in their footsteps.

[@killurtv319]

OR he was betrayed by his longtime friends because he decided to not play the game anymore. And he got ostracized and banished for leaving the cult

[@itcouldbelupus2842]

@@killurtv319 What game did he decide not to play exactly? Maybe that happened, but he did go and start his own cult. Also it's just a fact he was abused by his father, basically indisputable. I think it's more likely he lost friends by always asking for money and failing at business so hard. I don't think there's any chance he made a moral choice to "stop playing their game" much more likely he just lost the game and started playing on his own.

[@RyanG0899]

[@LokiBeckonswow]

jeremy strong was great as roy cohn, but tbh this movie was absolute trash - way to paint trump, an undeniably sociopathic and malignant narcissist, as a "human guy just trying to make his way in a big ol' world". absolutely gross and cringe af, literally watch any interview with trump in the 80s or 90s and its unbelievably obvious how much of a self-centred sociopath he is - it's harmful when stoopid people paint favourable examples of terrible tyrants - trump is hitler 2.0, and ya'll made a moronic movie that glazed him for 2 hours - seriously poor form here, ya'll should be ashamed.

As Trump has proven time and time again, there's no such thing as bad publicity. This is a man with 34 felony convictions and he's still in the hunt to become President of the United States. Trump understands this game better than anyone and I would not rule out his attempts to quash this movie as just another ploy to win him more publicity...
