I’ve always thought that the most curious character during the riots was the random Black man in a down vest and Timbs looking absolutely lost amid all the scarily stupefying whiteness. Photo: Screenshot / Claudio Lavenia/Getty Images

But Cheney is the figure on the board who reminds us that this is a TV show (and, in turn, Leigh will remind us that this is a TV show about a TV show) and that there’s narrative power in the spectacle. Capitol Police sergeant Aquilino Gonell how it makes him feel when Trump said that the rioters were “a loving crowd.” He absolutely delivered: “I’m still recovering from those hugs and kisses.” In that moment, you can hear Cheney kinda scoff, a nice little sardonic moment during some pretty awful proceedings. Maybe more than the other members of the committee, Cheney is goading witnesses to say some slick shit about Donald Trump. To understand why Jennifer Jason Leigh is here, we have Cheney’s ambition. She’s a neocon with a murderous lineage but with a sense of humor that might lull the unsuspecting into a quick kiki, because you know she’s got tea on just about everybody on Capitol Hill.

Here, he’d modulate to convey some sort of objectivity while keeping in mind that most of the people discussed in this hearing are full of shit. It’s why Disney+ dialed his line to narrate as Marvel’s What If…? aloof griot the Watcher. His greatest asset as Thompson, in addition to rockin’ the bespectacled badlie look, is a voice that can range from cogent and grizzled to lush downhome softness - then a rumbling thunder in the foreboding phase of a storm. Jeffrey Wright - whose co-starring role in Westworld scored him three consecutive Emmy nominations - has experience as a patient, wizened onlooker to an overwhelmingly knotty narrative. The key to his role in a Hollywood setting is establishing an authoritative tone. Mississippi representative Bennie Thompson might be the chair of the January 6 committee, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll sit at the center of its conflict.
