James Van Der Beek almost played Donald Trump in Ryan Murphy's series 'Pose'.
On ?Pose,? Van Der Beek and Evan Peters play men seeking power in the business world who work for Trump.
According to SFGate, there was a good reason Murphy decided to scrap Trump as a character.
The election happened, and we?re like, ?Nobody wants to see him.' And then it was going to be an actor impersonating somebody who?s already a caricature, and I thought, ?Well, that?s just going to take you right out of the show.'
