Jeremy Strong, Sebastian Stan, Maria Bakalova on the poster for The Apprentice.
This weekend marked the long-awaited release of The Apprentice, the highly controversial film which stars Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump, giving viewers a glimpse into his rise to power in the 1970s and 80s in New York, but it's taken quite some time to hit theaters, with many studios hesitating to distribute the picture. Industry insiders have suggested this reluctance was largely due to fear of backlash from Trump's supporters and potential legal threats from Trump himself.
How Did Sebastian Stan Play Donald Trump? Stan's performance, which has been well received, is notably not one that focuses on the rather extravagant gestures or voice that Trump is known for, but is a slightly more downplayed version.
I had to find a way to introduce him in a way that I felt hadn't been introduced yet and try to find the human being. Try to ground it in as much in reality as possible. So I did actually watch as much as I could of what everybody else was doing. The Apprentice is playing in theaters now. Be sure to check out the movie if you can, and keep your eye on Collider for further updates on your favorite movies and shows.
