Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHelp me with this: What famous actor does Paul Manafort remind me of?
It's been on the tip of my tongue all day, but I can't pin it down.
This is a critically important question, or I would not have asked it in GD, you see. I must know.
See Below. It's Robert Mitchum!

Honestly, he reminds me a bit of his former client. He and Viktor Yanukovych could be brothers or cousins by the looks of it.

(115,836 posts)"All the President's Men" came out in 1976, only two years after Nixon's resignation. So we might have something like "All the President's Russians" by 2020 or so. I am looking forward to it, and I'm mentally casting the dramatis personae already. Sorvino works for Manafort.

(48,955 posts)And write now the script seems to be following a ten little indians (movie) arc. Sadly we are only on the second person falling - though he seems to be making a pretty big splash in his fall, and the wake should pull the threads loose on a few others.

MineralMan
(146,329 posts)That didn't seem to hurt his career, though, and it was a long one. I like the guy. Sadly, he's dead, so he can't play Manafort in the movie.

(47,209 posts)Roles even when they played ruthless men. Chazz is always very flat, dead eyed... perhaps more like real life, but not very interesting to watch. Soulless maybe- like Manafort!

jmowreader
(50,562 posts)He was also Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket and Vic Hoskins in Jurassic World...so he has a decent resume of "root of all evil" roles. He is 10 years younger than Manafort, but that's what makeup is for.
Not a bad choice, Tavernier.

anneboleyn
(5,611 posts)I do not get the posts implying that Manafort is handsome or something (what?) Colin Firth?!! PLEASE. NO WAY. NOT EVEN ROBERT MITCHUM. Paul Manafort gives me the creeps, all the way down to my bones. He is sleazy and saggy and oozes smarmy arrogance and looks very wanna-be gangster, like some extra in Goodfellas. He looks like a used car saleman with a slightly better suit, just like his leader Trump. He does not look like a movie star (why are people glamorizing him?)
