casting details

Linda Tripp was a complex figure in the Bill Clinton scandal, known for her manipulation and deceit in leaking private conversations with Monica Lewinsky to the press. To portray Tripp, an actor may need to embody traits such as cunning, insecurity, and a sense of moral superiority. Tripp was a master manipulator who convinced Lewinsky to confide in her, so the actor would need to convey the ability to gain someone’s trust while also betraying them. Tripp also had a distinctive appearance, so the actor may need to be willing to undergo a physical transformation, including wearing prosthetics or makeup to achieve her look.
