Everyone knows the name John Wilkes Booth. The actor shot U.S. president Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre in 1865, only five days after Union forces won the Civil War. But have you heard of Edwin M. Stanton, the driven secretary of war and close friend of Lincoln who led the ensuing manhunt to nab the assassin? His life-risking 12-day pursuit through a fractured nation is brought to life in Manhunt, a seven-episode limited drama based on James L. Swanson’s 2006 bestseller and starring Tobias Menzies. “Stanton’s not necessarily straightforwardly likable; he’s fierce, uncompromising,” says Menzies, who counts him among the “deeply complex and contradictory” types he’s drawn to play, such as Prince Philip in The Crown, for which he won an Emmy, and sadistic “Black Jack” Randall in Outlander.

Deadline say Jackie Earle Haley has joined DreamWorks & Steven Spielberg’s rapidly close to filming biopic of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. The Oscar nominated actor has taken the role of the infamous Alexander Stephens, a pro-slavery historical figure who was Vice President of the Confederates during the American Civil War and a staunch political rival to Lincoln’s office. He infamously said at the Cornerstone Speech;
“Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and moral condition.”
Clearly him and Lincoln didn’t get on and Haley is likely to be depict him as the bastard that history records (and his own quotes) tell us he was. Stephens was said to be a ghastly physical appearance,...
