I’d usually be interested in watching an actor as talented and committed as Strong portraying a real-life person. The problem with portraying these two is that they’re both cartoon characters to begin with and Strong isn’t that kind of actor (maybe Stan is, but it’s still a challenge for someone serious to play a clown straight).
Cohn usually works in Angels in America because Kushner leaned into it by writing him completely over the top and because directors have learned to cast over-the-top but disciplined actors like Ron Liebman and Al Pacino and Nathan Lane to play him.
