Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Jeff Daniels breaks down his A Man in Full character, Charlie Croker, teasing the extent of the protagonist's corruption. The Netflix TV miniseries adaptation of Tom Wolfe's novel of the same name is slated to arrive on May 2nd. It follows the story of Croker, a richer-than-rich real estate developer who loves to flaunt his wealth and power. By age 60, though, his vast financial empire is starting to collapse.
Frighteningly easy. Tom Wolfe wrote a great book back in the late '90s, and David E. Kelly adapted it, and those two people did a lot of the work for me. It's complex, but it's all there, and I love this kind of Shakespearean fall from being rich beyond any imagination, larger than life, the star of his own show. Everyone he meets is his audience, he's just so full of himself, thus the title, and then we cut his knees out.
What To Expect From A Man in Full The larger-than-life nature of Croker that Daniels describes is just one aspect of Wolfe's massive A Man in Full novel. It is by no means an easy novel to adapt, sitting at well over 700 pages and being steeped in satire and controversy. When it was published in 1998, the book stirred much controversy, mainly because of its blistering commentary on Atlanta, as well as on America as a whole.
Jon Michael Hill also plays a prominent role in A Man in Full as Conrad Hensley, who falls to the bottom of the social class due to Croker but ultimately repays him in a surprising way. The show has a capable crew behind it, with Regina King directing several episodes and Kelley executive producing. However, the series will only have six episodes to cover quite a bit of ground.
