The brilliant actor seems like the perfect fit to play Trump, his co-star agrees...

As you may know, Comey was the former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the books discusses ethics and the leadership that Comey encountered throughout his life, his career in public office, and his relationship with President Donald Trump, who fired him in May 2017.

Gleeson is set to play Trump but this won't be the first time that McNairy will star alongside a member of the Gleeson family because in 2014, he spent some time in Wicklow working alongside Domhnall Gleeson in Frank. Granted, Brendan Gleeson has played famous real life figures before - his performances as Martin Cahill in The General and Winston Churchill in Into The Storm spring to mind - but McNairy was impressed by just how good the Irish actor is in the roll.

"Yeah, yeah. We just finished that about a week ago with Billy Ray - he's just incredible and so much fun to work with, with such great material and a great script. Yeah, I worked with Brendan. Man, he's just so nice in person but it was scary to see how much like Trump he was. Everybody on set had an out of body experience when he did his first rehearsal, we we're like 'Wow, this is too close for comfort.

While no premiere date for A Higher Loyalty has been announced yet, fans of McNairy can see him in Season 2 of Narcos: Mexico which is now streaming on Netflix.Hit play for our All In Business Show with Mark Little, Iseult Ward and Norman CrowleyBarry Murphy, Andrew Trimble and Jerry Flannery are joined by Leinster & Wallabies star Scott Fardy and former Ireland Women's captain Fiona Coghlan as House of Rugby goes live to preview some big Guinness Six Nations matches.
