"Eric McCormack (Will & Grace), Sherry Stringfield (ER) and Regina Taylor (The Unit) headline the eagerly-anticipated Lifetime Original Movie, Who is Clark Rockefeller? An astonishing account of a man's lifelong con game. Based on a true shocking story
that continues to capture national media attention, the film explores the inconceivable
life of a con artist who, for years, called himself "Clark Rockefeller" (McCormack) and
claimed to be a member of the powerful Rockefeller family. 'Who is Clark Rockefeller?'
from Sony Pictures Television will premiere on Saturday, March 13, 9pm ET/PT
repeating Sunday 14th, and Monday 15th also at 9pm ET/PT all on Lifetime Television.
ABOUT THE MOVIE
Called "the longest running con in FBI history," Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter,
the man that people knew as "Clark Rockefeller" (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 (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
(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.
