He WAS wrong. IMHO. Too chipper, wise-cracky, no hint of the Jewishness you mention that McArdle also doesn't "have". Yes....wrong for Roy Cohn. Jonathan Hadary was the best - always IMHO.

And I don't think Louis has to have the map of the ghetto written all over his face. McArdle captures the tortured, over-thinking Louis perfectly. I for one was happy he didn't do stereotypical "Jewish" acting. Whatever that really is. (Fire away!)

How Jewish was Al Pacino??? F Murray Abraham??? That seems a very limited criterion for assessing success as Roy Cohn.

Crucial to me.

I wasn't crazy about Pacino or Abraham.

I can't say Hadary was the best because there are a lot of important people in the role that I did not see, but I did see him on tour and thought him excellent, as good if not better than Pacino in the HBO film and decidedly better than Nathan Lane who I did not care for at all.

And do you know who else was surprisingly good as Cohn?
