Here are Trump and Scaramucci's shots at stardom from that Wall Street movie
Before they were running the White House, President Donald Trump and new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci just wanted to be in this one OK-ish movie about Wall Street.
The president put the crew of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps through a ream of vain specifications for filming his cantaloupe gelatin face in a scene that didn't make the movie, while Scaramucci coughed up $100,000 for 15 seconds of screen time and so his real-life hedge fund -- SkyBridge Capital -- would appear in the film.
Scaramucci plays a finance guy of some sort, and his line is pretty appropriate to the current administration.

“Churchill Schwartz has a [yuge] position in this thing and I want to get short that stock," he says. YuuuuUUuuUuUUuUUUge.
Trump would have been on screen about four times as long, but his scene was relegated to the realm of DVD extras.
Trump talks with one of the film's stars, Michael Douglas, when they just happen to bump into each other at a London barbershop.
"This is a great place to get a haircut," Trump says, before talking up combovers.
Douglas's character says he's a "gel man."
It is very good cinema about hair.
