This is the third film I've seen Michael Sheen and Helen McCrory play the Tony and Cherie Blair! They must have a Blair contract! 

I think Michael Sheen is very good at Tony Blair... He seems to get that slimy smarmy face just right... Tony Blair has always had that face you could easily slap into next week... Michael Sheen does it brilliantly.... Xx

He was very good in Frost and Nixon where Sheen played Frost.

Writer Peter Morgan first developed the Channel 4 drama The Deal about the relationship between Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. He then went on to write The Queen for ITV.

Later he wrote The Special Relationship about the dealing Blair had with President Clinton. That was for the BBC.

So Sheen has played Blair for all three British channels.

It's that man again!!
