Watch a sneak peek and check out photos from WHO IS CLARK ROCKEFELLER?, a new Lifetime movie airing this Saturday, March 13, 2010, at 9:00 PM ET/ 8:00 PM CT. The movie stars Eric McCormack, Sherry Stringfield, Regina Taylor and Emily Alyn Lynd.
This is quite a disturbing movie, especially when you think that it is based on a true story. Eric McCormack is really great in this. I am so used to seeing him as this charming guy, and in Who Is Clark Rockefeller?, well he is still charming, but in a more creepy way. It is really a fascinating story and to be honest, even though the character of “Clark Rockefeller” is definitely a horrible man and you kind of hate him, I can’t say that I could really feel sorry for his ex-wife, Sandra Boss (Sherry Stringfield). She just comes off as a little naive and weak, which I guess is probably why he ended up with her.
If you enjoy the Lifetime movies based on true stories, then this is another one you’re going to want to check out.
Who Is Clark Rockefeller? Synopsis: Called “the longest running con in FBI history,” Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, the man that people knew as “Clark Rockefeller” (Eric McCormack) had brilliantly impersonated numerous people, ranging from a talk show host to a Pentagon Advisor before ultimately claiming to be an heir to the famous Rockefeller family. Confident from the success of his prior scams, Clark quickly became well known and highly respected among Boston’s elite and used his purported high society status to charm his way into the life of Sandra Boss (Sherry Stringfield), a millionaire with a Harvard MBA and a partner at the prestigious management consulting firm, McKinsey & Company. Following a whirlwind courtship, the two married and had a daughter, Reigh (Emily Alyn Lind, Eastwick) before their rocky 12-year union ended in divorce, leading Clark to abduct his beloved daughter after losing custody to Sandra. With the help of FBI agent Megan Norton (Regina Taylor), Sandra’s search for her daughter exposed Clark’s lifelong con game for the world to see and ultimately raised questions about the real man and the deception he is capable of.
