Actors who look/looked like presidents & presidential candidates

[Alexander]

It's a bit obvious if they played the part, so I started off with some people who didn't:

John Lithgow and James Buchanan:





Tommy Lee Jones and Andrew Johnson:





Paul Newman and Warren Harding:





Julian Glover and Calvin Coolidge:





Tim Robbins and Herbert Hoover:





Kevin Spacey and Mike Huckabee:

1. Sarah Palin and Tina Fey

2. Robin Williams and George Washington

3. I thought Gary Sinise did a great job in Truman in 1995 - there is some resemblance,

and I think the film was very well done (especially if you are a Democrat/ Truman fan, like me.)

7. Yeah, that was a good one.

Also, Bruce Greenwood as JFK in "Thirteen Days" :D

[Call Me Wesley]

11. Haven't seen it but looked at the pics,

yes, good one as well.

Is 'Thirteen Days' worth watching? I guess it's about how Castro allowed the USSR to station rocket-powered Khrushchevs on Cuba to strike the USA with shoes first? :P While Brehznev anxiously awaited his decade of power and forgot to shave his eyebrows over it?

[kentauros]

13. Well, I liked it, and that's all that matters

:P

If you don't like Kevin Costner, though, then you might not like the movie. I thought it was interesting that the actor playing Bobby plays a hard-liner Republican in "The West Wing" :)

[Call Me Wesley]

14. I'll give it a try.

I liked Costner in 'The Big Chill' a lot. ;)

[kentauros]

15. I liked him in "No Way Out"

Another political intrigue movie with the Russians :)

9. Tom Selleck/Dwight Eisenhower?

[Call Me Wesley]

12. Oh, c'mon, am I really the first one ...

[Bucky]

16. Charles Durning and Stephen F Douglas
