Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn

No, it wasn't. I mean, money is part of it. But at its core, what that started as, and it took going to therapy to really connect these dots, I didn't want my mother to worry about me. You know, I had a good father. He was a bad husband. And so, you know, money was tight a lot of the time because pops was tripping. And we moved to Birmingham because my parents reconciled in the third grade.

I was in the third grade, maybe fourth. So I remember nights laying in my bed, first grade, second grade, and I could hear my mother asking friends for money. Like the late night calls asking, you know, the borrow the money calls, right? And then I remember... I remember when my dad died when I was 16. And, you know, my dad was one of them hyper black. You know, I'm not paying no taxes.

The black man ain't got no rights. The right to vote expires. Voting right, whatever. So my father never paid federal taxes. So when he died, they came for everything. They came for everything. And I remember that very well. I remember working 30 hours a week in high school to help with the bills. Because I didn't want my mom picking up another job. And I'm still trying to just be a child.

Yeah, just for my mom to be able to keep the house through my senior year of high school. And so when I got to college... I just want to be no damn burden, man. I'm tired of asking you for stuff and hearing this deep sigh. And I know what you got to go through to try and make this pair of sneakers happen for me. So I'm just I don't want to bother you. I just didn't want to be a burden to my mom.

And I think that it wasn't about thrill seeking. It wasn't about stacking a bunch of cash and saving up to get a car and a gold chain or Everything started from a place of, I just want some clothes for myself so I don't have to call my mom and ask for clothes. And then, hey, man, I bought a couple extra pairs of jeans. Would you like some jeans?

And then the police come and go, hey, this is illegal. So we're going to put you on probation for a little while. Go find a career during that time. And then when probation concludes, you can continue that career.
