Paper Girls' Ronald Reagan Comes By His Acting Chops Honestly
By Mia Tucker
Marcus Truschinski is the name of the actor who plays Ronald Reagan on "Paper Girls." Per IMDb, the Amazon series is only his second on-screen role, but he is a veteran of the stage and he's played some major characters throughout the years.
According to The Courier, Truschinski's love for theater stems back to his high school days. The actor told the outlet that there's a picture depicting him and some of his classmates watching a "Macbeth" stage show at the American Players Theater. Fast forward to the year 2022, and the "Paper Girls" star can claim that he's now part of the theater's acting group, and he's played the title character in the aforementioned Shakespearian tragedy.
Landing the lead role in a William Shakespeare play is no small feat, but playing significant parts in beloved stage shows is nothing new for the actor. The American Players Theater notes that Truschinski's other stage credits include "Pride & Prejudice" and "Death of a Salesman," in which he played Mr. Darcy and Biff Loman, respectively. Now that he's appeared on a hit streaming series, though, it wouldn't be surprising if he becomes a regular on the screen as well.
