在情景喜剧《新鲜王子妙事多》( The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air )中,特朗普继续扮演一位富翁。


It shows him and then-wife Marla Maples grandly introduced to Will Smith and his wealthy Los Angeles family members. “You look much richer in person.” His mere entrance causes the family’s resident conservative, Carlton, to faint.

剧中,别人将他和当时的妻子玛拉·马普勒斯介绍给了威尔·史密斯及其洛杉矶的富有亲戚。家里的保守派成员卡尔顿 见到特朗普直接就晕倒了。



当有人称赞他富有时,特朗普表示,我喜欢保持低调……

1994年,特朗普第一次尝试在电影《小淘气》( The Little Rascals )中扮演了别人,不过人设跟他自己很像:一个被宠坏的小屁孩的富翁老爸。

戏中他对儿子说:你是用钱能买到最好的儿子。


导演Penelope Spheeris说这个角色简直就像为特朗普量身定做的。


不过最令导演印象深刻的是特朗普在拍摄现场的派头。一般人到达现场时都是小心翼翼,生怕打扰了拍摄。但特朗普到现场时是这样的:


It was a sea of crew members, standing around the camera, and all of the sudden the sea parted and a limo pulled through them, carefully managing not to hit anybody, and pulled up right next to where the camera was placed. He stepped out of the car and waved to everybody in the grandstand, like the Rose Queen would do.

有一大群工作人员围着摄像机站着,突然人群分散开,一辆豪华轿车开了进来,努力没让人被撞倒,然后直接停在了摄像机旁边。这时特朗普从车里迈了出来,向观众挥手致意,搞得跟玫瑰皇后似的。

特朗普还在《天才保姆》( The Nanny )中跑过一个龙套。剧里女主角介绍特朗普和另一个富翁时要说句台词:


Do all you handsome millionaires know each other?

你们这些又帅又有钱的百万富翁们是不是都互相认识啊?



特朗普对 millionaire这个词极为不满。 有个记者回忆说:


Trump’s feathers were ruffled when he found out that his character was a millionaire when he himself was actually a billionaire and asked for the line to be changed. In the end, he was referenced as a zillionaire .

特朗普发现他的角色是个百万富翁时气得头发都竖了起来,因为他实际上是个亿万富翁。他要求修改台词,最后, 这个词改成了“ 兆万富翁 ”。

特朗普的客串生涯中还有一部竟然神预言了,那是1997年的《突然苏珊》( Suddenly Susan )。

Trump appeared in one episode of the sitcom playing himself, again, who is asked to help finance a new magazine called Skazzy . Weirdly, the cover of the magazine features a photo of Donald with the line “Our Next President?” underneath.

特朗普出现在这个情景喜剧中的某一集中,当然又是演自己。剧中人物想让特朗普投资他们的杂志 Skazzy ,然后展示了一张特朗普的封面照,惊悚的是,底下一行大标题竟然写着“Our Next President?”(我们的下一个总统?)

特朗普除了在跑龙套的过程中打造自己的富翁形象,还会夹带私货炫耀自己著作等身……


比如,1998年的《政界小人物》( Spin City ):


In Trump’s cameo in an episode, he swaggers into the mayor’s office, sits in his chair without asking, and claims that writing his books The Art of the Deal and The Art of the Comeback were a snap for him: “First day, nine chapters.”

特朗普客串了其中一集,他大摇大摆走进市长办公室,问也不问就坐到市长的椅子里,炫耀自己的传记《生意的艺术》和《东山再起》写起来就是小菜一碟:“第一天,就写了9章!”
