Michael Sheen discusses his Roy Cohn-inspired Good Fight character, and Sarah Silverman's "The Great Christine Baranski" penis joke

Vulture

Sheen says of his Roland Bloom character: "There’s the Roy Cohn connection obviously, and there’s a bit of Roger Stone in terms of the flamboyance and the outrageousness." As for his ex-girlfriend Silverman's "Great Christine Baranski" penis joke, Sheen says he and Christine Baranski "definitely talked about it (while working together on The Good Fight). That was something Sarah just made up, in so much as it’s not true. It’s a joke that she made up. But poor Christine has had to be asked about that over and over again, so I feel sorry for her. I cleared that up with her fairly early on, and just said, 'Look, you know, it’s not true. Sarah made that up.' Actually, there’s a little nod to it in the first scene that we have together, which felt quite cheeky."
