Playing Sturgis in White House Plumbers is Kim Coates, best known for his roles in titles like Bad Blood, Sons of Anarchy, Goon and Godless. Dorothy Hunt is the wife of Howard Hunt, but she is no typical housewife. There are reports that she was an asset for the CIA in her own right and would have a hand to play in the Watergate scandal. Ultimately, the writers and director relied on their protagonists. When they looked in the mirror, they saw the ultimate patriots, and they were willing to do whatever it took to prove themselves.

Shea Whigham previously played this larger-than-life figure in Starz’s Watergate and Martha Mitchell series “Gaslit” with even more feverish intensity, at one point stealing the show from Julia Roberts by battling a rat in prison. But Theroux’s self-amusement with the character is infectious enough; it's in the way his Liddy speaks regally as if he were already the star of a mini-series in his head. Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux will star as E. Along with appearing in the show, Harrelson and Theroux will executive produce the show. Writers and executive producers, Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck, created the series and will executive price alongside Veep showrunner David Mandel. Frank Rich, executive producer of Veep and Succession will also executive produce.

Right away, you know this new White House Plumbers series is in great hands. Specifically, it's in the hands of writers and creators Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck, both of whom worked on HBO's Veep and The Larry Sanders Show. The director of multiple episodes is David Mandel, who directed episodes of Veep and Curb Your Enthusiasm. And the many executive producers include Frank Rich, who's also an executive producer on Succession. So this group knows how to tell a story in unexpected ways, and to find the humor even in the more serious situations. Many of the infamous names behind the Watergate scandal are being portrayed by famous ones as part of the White House Plumbers cast.

Set in the early 1970s, the series will tell the true story of how Nixon’s own political saboteurs and Watergate masterminds, E. Gordon Liddy, accidentally toppled the presidency they were trying to protect. According to HBO, the show will be based on public records and the book Integrity by Egil “Bud” Krogh and Matthew Krogh. The five-part limited series The White House Plumbers will focus on the true story of how Richard Nixon’s own Watergate masterminds. The Watergate scandal, also known as the Pentagon Papers leak, was last revisited by Starz's "Gaslit" — starring Julia Roberts, Sean Penn, and Shea Whigham — in 2022. However, that political thriller instead focused on how Martha Mitchell, the wife of United States attorney general and presidential campaign chairman John Mitchell, got roped into the chaos and cover-up of the crime.

It's a five-episode series running weekly in the UK every Tuesday at the same time and also available as a box set from that day on Sky Box Sets and NOW. The five-episode limited series premieres on HBO and HBO Max on May 1. Parts of White House Plumbers are laugh-out-loud outrageous – but other parts do make you feel for some of these people, and, of course, compare that scandal to more contemporary ones. All the President's Men is one of my favorite movies of all time — and White House Plumbers is good enough to be shown as a very long, all-Watergate double feature. The principals in this particular telling of the story are E. They were called the Plumbers because, well, plumbers locate and stop leaks.

Sons of Anarchy actor Kim Coates is Frank Sturgis, another one of the five burglars involved in Watergate. In the '50s, Sturgis moved to Cuba and worked for Fidel Castro and as a CIA informant, and opened a training camp where he taught Che Guevarra guerilla warfare, then eventually defected and joined the anti-Castro opposition. He was also involved in a number of conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy, including some he perpetuated himself. For his role in Watergate, he spent 14 months in prison.

Given all the projects being flushed down the drain at HBO these days, it’s no surprise that some plumbers have been hired. And who better to play HBO’s Mario and Luigi than Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux? Okay, fine, The White House Plumbers isn’t actually a show about fixing pipes. As the first trailer for the five-part miniseries shows, Harrelson and Theroux are instead starring as E. Gordon Liddy, the Watergate masterminds who accidentally toppled the presidency they were trying to protect.

Among his other roles are the latest Star Wars trilogy, American Made, Brooklyn, Ex Machina and About Time. Most viewers will know Theroux from his roles in Mulholland Drive, Zoolander, The Leftovers and The Mosquito Coast. He is also a writer (Tropic Thunder, Iron Man 2, Rock of Ages) and an Emmy-winning producer for the specials Live in Front of a Studio Audience. Like Hunt, G. Gordon Liddy was a former federal agent, previously working for the FBI before he started working for the Plumbers.

Hunt, a former CIA agent still fuming from the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and Liddy, whose tenure with the FBI did not end well, had plenty in common. They both loved Nixon and hated John Kennedy and the counterculture, which they saw as a threat to patriotism and the American way of life. HBO has picked up The White House Plumbers, which is a limited series from the team behind Veep and will center around the Watergate scandal.

Iconic character actress Judy Greer (Reboot, the Halloween franchise) plays Frances, wife of G. The couple were married for more than 50 years and had five children. Check out the official trailers for White House Plumbers directly below for both HBO and Sky Atlantic, which shows that the men that carried out that Watergate break-in may not have been the brightest bulbs...

While Hunt and Dorothy entertain Liddy and his wife, Fran, their kids Lisa and Saint John paint a less-than-perfect portrait of the family.
