The first season of the anthology series stars Viola Davis as Michelle Obama, Michelle Pfeiffer as Betty Ford and Gillian Anderson as Eleanor Roosevelt. See the cast side-by-side with their real-life counterparts
Viola Davis as Michelle Obama
"It's terrifying," Davis said about playing Obama on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "Because sometimes someone doesn't live up to whatever image you have in your head. But when they do live up to the image, it's quite frightening."
O-T Fagbenle as Barack Obama O-T Fagbenle plays President Barack Obama on the series, opposite Davis' Michelle Obama.
"Barack Obama came alive during the social media movement, he's one of the most recognizable people, so [the challenge was] finding a way of playing a character, discovering a character and not doing an imitation," The Handmaid's Tale actor told Variety of playing Obama.
He continued, "It was very hard … Playing him over the span of 15 years is a challenge, as well, but it was a beautiful challenge."
Lexi Underwood as Malia Obama
Lexi Underwood as Malia, Viola Davis as Michelle Obama Lexi Underwood plays Malia Obama on the series, and the resemblance is uncanny. The Little Fires Everywhere actress said she tapped into a "different side" of herself to play the eldest Obama daughter.
"With me being from Washington, D.C., I tapped into a younger Lexi that lived in D.C. I can relate to living in the midst of politics and feeling like you're too young or limited to speak up for what your passionate about," she told theGrio. "Malia's story about how she uses her voice and platform just while being in the house is something just so exciting to see."
