I think I'll try and watch Trial & Error as I don't watch a lot of sitcoms lately.

I feel like Churchill is so iconic, it must have been such a challenge!

Well, there are so many iconic roles in this show that I'm sure everyone was in similar positions

I totally get what you mean though. It has to be so much harder to portray an actual person than a made up character.

That's true, Tracey. They must all felt the pressure to accurately portray these characters.

Quote:
And why cast John Lithgow, an American, as Winston Churchill?

You don’t look at him – immediately it’s not a cliché. The audience bring their own discernment and their own understanding of John as an American to the part. Yes, Churchill had an American mother but that’s a poor argument to make. It’s an astonishingly versatile piece of acting by one of the world’s great character actors. We’re privileged to have him. Even though he’s tall enough to be Churchill the basketball player. (Laughs.) That’s why [casting director] Nina Gold is who Nina Gold is. Every now and then every head of department needs to prove why they are at the top of their field. Nina’s choice of John Lithgow is exactly that kind of moment. No one else would have thought of that and the moment she did everyone went “Oh my god, what a great idea.”

He really did. I read somewhere that if you're not British and unfamiliar with Churchill, just look at John's performance and that's exactly how he was.
