Russell Crowe is unrecognizable as Roger Ailes in the first trailer for Showtime’s mini-series The Loudest Voice.
The upcoming show is based on the Ailes biography by former New York writer Gabriel Sherman which will chronicle Ailes rise to media domination. Alongside him are Gretchen Carlson (Naomi Watts), his wife Elizabeth Ailes (Sienna Miller), former head of Fox News’ public relations Brian Lewis (Seth MacFarlane), and Fox News booker Laurie Luhn (Annabelle Wallis). Showtime stated,
“In today’s politically charged media landscape, no figure looms larger, even after his passing, than Roger Ailes, molding Fox News into a force that irrevocably changed the conversation about the highest levels of government.”
The Loudest Voice premiere on Sunday, June 30.
