First look: Brendan Gleeson as Donald Trump in new show The Comey Rule

This is Brendan Gleeson as you’ve never seen him before – playing Donald Trump.

The star is showcased as the US President in the debut trailer of new show The Comey Rule.

The first glimpse of the mini-series starring the 65-year-old Dubliner alongside Jeff Daniels as former FBI boss James Comey hit the internet yesterday.

Writer and director Billy Ray told Vanity Fair: “We made the contrast between the bags under his eyes and the orange skin softer than it actually is. We made the hair a little less cartoonish than it actually is.

“We went out of our way to play fair because we felt we owed that to the public. We are not here to ridicule anybody.”
