Brendan Gleeson andJeff Danielsare headed to Washington.
The project will be based on Comeys bestselling book,A Higher Loyalty.
It currently has no airdate or home yet; it could end up on Showtime or CBS All Access.
Comey served as FBI director from 2013 to May 2017, at which time Trump fired him.
Jeff is so perfect for this part, said Ray in a statement.
Great actor, instant integrity, loads of warmth, intelligence, complexity and gravitas.
Lucky for me, he said yes.
You have to havepresence, and a singular kind of dynamism.
You also have to have the courage and the will to play Trumps psychology from the inside out.
Oh, and you have to be spectacularly talented and watchable.
Not many actors check all those boxes.
Im ecstatic about this.
