Which actor did a better job of playing the Purdue Pharma chairman: Matthew Broderick or Michael Stuhlbarg?
The Big Picture There have been a number of inevitable comparisons that have going on between the new Netflix limited series Painkiller and Hulu's Dopesick, which was released in 2021. Both series tackle the exact same subject of the opioid crisis and use many of the same players that were involved in the story of corporate greed and betrayal that led to one of the most deadly epidemics in American history.
Stuhlbarg vs. Broderick: Who Was the Better Richard Sackler? As has been depicted in these fictionalized portrayals of events, Richard Sackler was a money-hungry man driven by both a fear of failure in the eyes of his father, and the need to prove that he was a good businessman who could carry on the Sackler and Purdue Pharma name into the 21st century. With this in mind, the answer to the above ask is obviously Michael Stuhlbarg.
Why Michael Stuhlbarg Shines in 'Dopesick' Stuhlbarg has a knack for playing truly nefarious characters. He's proven it in both movies like Cut Bank as well as on television, where he played a crime boss in both Boardwalk Empire and the recent Showtime hit Your Honor. He just has that look about him, doesn't he? It's mainly in the arched eyebrows and protruding and sculpted nose that emits a dreadful aura.
