How about Oliver Platt as Bannon?
She’s famously kept a low profile (if that’s not a contradiction in terms), so possibly many people well-informed about the current Presidency may not remember her name, either.
By the way, on a point raised earlier in the thread: Do we know whether this project is going to have a comic slant, or a serious one? Examples of both approaches have worked in the ratings, so it’s tough to guess.
I wouldn’t have Trump be in the movie at all – the whole movie would be the staff running around talking about what an idiot he is, how much they hate him, etc. No onscreen presence will ever be able to live up to our image of the real thing.
Al Pacino is what, 5’6"?
Even granting Trump isn’t the 6’3" his mendacious doctor says he is, one of his most obvious physical characteristics is that he’s a big, clumsy oaf. Whatever Dr. Ronny says, Trump is about 6’1" or 6’2" and weighs 280 pounds, maybe 300. He was a big guy even before he got really fat.
It would just not work to have a small man play Trump; Pacino is no good, nor are Mark Hamill, Stanley Tucci, or anyone else short. One of the reasons Alec Baldwin works as Trump is he’s a tall man.
An obvious choice, one I think I’ve mentioned before, is Jeff Daniels. Daniels is about Trump’s height, and he vaguely looks like Trump - he would be very easy to make up to look Trumpesque. He’s 62, old enough to look the part without overdoing it on the age makeup. Daniels can play the clumsy oaf. He’d be great.
That could be a good approach, actually. Or maybe he’s an unseen voice from time to time, kind of like George Steinbrenner on Seinfeld.
I can see both of these options working well.
that’s who Pence reminds me of: Saruman! 
Why didn’t anyone correct me? Sarah H. Sanders, not Spicer! Also how 'bout Caitlin Jenner for her? For Kellyann, Allison Janney.
Not bad. The previously mentioned Oliver Platt is also quite tall and large. Though, Jeff Daniels has a bigger name, so I assume that he’d get the job of the two of them, if they both agreed.
Platt is a good choice too; he’s a very big man. Daniels is more fair haired and has a closer complexion, though.
Vincent D’Onofrio is also tall and oafish, and his wonderful comedic turn in “Men in Black” proves he can play an inhuman weirdo.
We thought you were making a funny.
OK, Oliver Platt is one of those “that guy from that thing” actors. He could pull it off.
But…you just can’t cast Trump and not have it be a comedy, because Trump is a self-parody. Any Trump impression is going to be like an Elvis impersonator.
You’d have to keep him offstage, otherwise it’s just ridiculous.
Ben Stiller could make a cameo appearance as Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci. It would be a bit like a reprise of his role as White Goodman in Dodgeball.
Maybe Jeffrey Jones as Trump, Grace Jones as Omarosa.
That’s an excellent idea. What makes it even better is that it undercuts Trump’s argument that Wolff didn’t have much contact with him. Because, of course, Wolff’s point is that he didn’t need to have any actual contact with Trump to discover that lots of people around him are only too willing to complain behind his back that he’s not up to the job.
Maybe you’d just use archival footage of Trump, you know, like they used Bill Clinton in Contact.
Because you couldn’t have an actor doing Trump unless the movie is a farce.
I really like this approach. Sort of like West Wing was supposed to be, with the President not on the screen and the stories about all the people around him (until Sheen became too popular for this to work). So kind of like West Wing, only somehow … different.
