the apprentice movie donald trump

The movie, which costars award-winning “Succession” actor Jeremy Strong as Trump’s former attorney and right hand man Roy Cohn, as well as Oscar-nominated “Borat 2” star Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump, required Stan to observe Trump’s early years to shape his portrayal.

“I think instinct is everything, and collaboration,” Stan said in a recent interview with CNN. “You have to go into that and look at what serves the story, the character, without judgment, (without) all the good, the bad and the ugly.”

For Stan, the “noise” surrounding the former president and current Republican candidate for next month’s election was something he had to distance himself from.

”You have to detach from fear and all of the noise that’s surrounding us at this time,” he shared about how he focused in on his performance.

Cohn has been portrayed other works, including last year’s Emmy-nominated “Fellow Travelers,” where he was portrayed by Will Brill, and 2003’s award-winning HBO miniseries “Angels in America,” in which Cohn was played by Al Pacino.
