Mike also stars Harvey Keitel as Tyson’s coach and mentor Cus D’Amato, Laura Harrier as Tyson’s former wife Robin Givens, Russell Hornsby as promoter Don King, and Li Eubanks as Desiree Washington, the model who accused Tyson of rape. I, Tonya screenwriter Steven Rogers created the series, with Karin Gist serving as showrunner.
