When Jeremy Strong was a teen-ager, in suburban Massachusetts, he had three posters thumbtacked to his bedroom wall: Daniel Day-Lewis in “My Left Foot,” Al Pacino in “Dog Day Afternoon,” and Dustin Hoffman in “Rain Man.” These weren’t just his favorite actors: their careers were a road map that he followed obsessively, like Eve Harrington casing out a trio of Margo Channings. He read interviews that his heroes gave and, later, managed to get crew jobs on their movies. By his early twenties, he had worked for all three men, and had adopted elements of their full-immersion acting methods. By his mid-thirties, after fifteen years of hustling in the industry, he’d had minor roles in a string of A-list films: “Lincoln,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” “Selma,” and “The Big Short.” He’d played a staffer in both the nineteenth-century White House and the twenty-first-century C.I.A. But, as he approached forty, he felt that his master plan wasn’t panning out—where was his Benjamin Braddock, his Michael Corleone?

“You come to New York, and you’re doing Off Off Broadway plays, and you are in the wilde

I read a book by Siri Hustvedt, who was married to Paul Auster, this great book called What I Loved. I read it a long, long time ago, but I remember something she wrote. There's a sentence that said, “Only the unprotected self can experience joy.” And I guess that I'm interested in that—not just joy, but I would say life. And so if I then sit down with you and start calibrating everything I say and I start protecting myself, then I'm just in some mummified life.

I was thinking about why people take potshots at you—because you very earnestly go all in on everything, you really mean it—and I wondered if it’s because we live in a time where people have a fear of really meaning what they say. Like if you say everything ironically, you can more easily take it back.

Sure. I think we probably do. I think the fact that cringe has become a word is evidence of that. But I guess I feel like, if you're not risking that, then what are you risking? You have to risk something, I think. It's easy to take shots at people and it's easy to tear people down. It

Jeremy Strong admits Apprentice role ‘probably’ changed how he sees Trump ‘on a human level’

Jeremy Strong has reflected on his portrayal of the late Roy Cohn in Ali Abassi’s daring Donald Trump biopic, The Apprentice.

The Succession star, 46, co-led the 2024 drama alongside Sebastian Stan, who plays a young Trump. The controversial film follows Trump’s ascent into real estate as he’s taken under the wing of the cutthroat lawyer and political fixer Cohn.

Cohn, who died from AIDS in 1986 without ever publicly admitting that he was homosexual nor ever disclosing that he was HIV-positive, is often credited with “creating” Trump.

Asked in a new Q&A profile with British GQ if his role as Cohn gave him any kind of empathy for Trump, especially given his recent political doings, Strong responded hesitantly.

“Maybe,” he said. “Certainly when I was doing it and sort of inside of it, I felt kinship with the Donald character.”

Before continuing, Strong said that he wanted to be careful with his words, noting that “it feels dangerous.”
