Getting to play Dean Martin alongside Don Cheadle as Sammy Davis and Ray Liotta as Sinatra was one of the greatest joys of my career.

Sammy Davis Jr. interviewing Evel Knievel is high octane 70s … not everybody can handle this much goddamn 70s. Know your limit.
(Think we can overlook this slip of the tongue from Lee Daniels 😂 and hope there will be some historical accuracy amongst what is inevitably changed for dramatic effect.)
@leedanielsent Great to hear you’re working on a SDJr miniseries, but Sammy married May Britt, not Elke Sommer. Artistic license is cool, but that might be a stretch too far 😂 We are only too keen to help with historical accuracy issues as needed. 👍
Great casting. Let’s hope this is something great on @Hulu!
(Have some reservations about the source material and the reported ground this series is covering.)
