Cast

Jeff Daniels
as James Comey
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series
…a perfectly cast Jeff Daniels…
– Indiewire
Daniels is inspired casting… he captures his character’s starched righteousness wholly.
– New York Times

Brendan Gleeson
as Donald J. Trump
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series
Played with a growly, lion-like intensity by the great Brendan Gleeson, Trump is a man that undoes Comey’s belief in codes and norms, makes him squirm.
– Rolling Stone
Gleeson, wearing tangerine-tinted makeup and a perpetual scowl, channels the president’s body language and the cadence of his voice, right down to his frequent loud inhalations and sniffles. He becomes the man without ever slipping into caricature.
– Vulture

Holly Hunter
as Sally Yates
Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series

Jennifer Ehle
as Patrice Comey
Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series
