【Busty Cops 2 (2006) Watch online】

LONDON -- After undertaking the role of Winston Churchill in Netflix's new original drama series The Busty Cops 2 (2006) Watch onlineCrown, American actor John Lithgow seems to have developed a penchant for playing British politicians.

In an interview with The Guardian, the two-time Golden Globe winner revealed that he was "completely floored" to learn that he had been cast as the iconic British statesman.

However, his interest in UK political drama isn't confined to the shenanigans of the mid-20th century.

“It suddenly occurred to me that Peter Morgan has to write about this Brexit moment,” he's quoted as saying, “And I want to play Boris Johnson. I want dibs on that part!”

Of course, Lithgow's Anglophilic tendencies are likely more strongly rooted in his love affair with British theatre than anything to do with the political sphere.

Of The Bard he fondly notes, "Shakespeare was mother’s milk,” he studied on a Fulbright scholarship at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and he has performed in numerous British productions including alongside the Royal Shakespeare Company.

The 71-year-old wouldn't say no to playing Donald Trump, either. In fact:

“I would looooove to play Trump! He fascinates me so much," Lithgow said. "Fascinates and appalls me. It’s unbelievable that he’s gotten this far, just unbelievable.”

Trump and BoJo are both known for their Shakespearian eloquence, we suppose...
