Former FBI director James Comey's memoir "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership " is being turned into a limited series by CBS network. The series, titled "A Higher Loyalty," has cast Brendan Gleeson in the role of controversial POTUS Donald Trump.
Jeff Daniels will be playing former FBI director James Comey. Michael Kelly will take on the role of FBI Director Andrew McCabe and Jennifer Ehle will play Patrice Comey, James Comey's wife. Billy Ray (Gemini Man, Richard Jewell) has written the series and will executive produce along Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, and Shane Salerno.
`It's hard to imagine a bigger acting challenge than playing Donald Trump,` Ray said in a statement. `You have to have presence, and a singular kind of dynamism. You also have to have the courage and the will to play Trump's psychology from the inside out. Oh, and you have to be spectacularly talented and watchable. Not many actors check all those boxes. Brendan does. I'm ecstatic about this.`
