Which actor would make the best US President in a movie? - or equivalent heads of state... who cares about them though amirite?

[DoshesToDoshes]

I, for one, think Harrison Ford did a great job in Air Force One.

 

[AnOminous]

James Earl Jones would make a great fictional President.

As a crack casting, Crispin Glover as Abraham Lincoln.

 

[Replicant Sasquatch]

Before getting his Best Actor for suffering bear rape, I suggested several times Leo's best chance for an Oscar was to play JFK. I still stand by that, I think he could do a great job of it.

I want to see Ed Harris in a Dwight Eisenhower biopic.

 

[DeadwastePrime]

donald trump as himself

 

[Cato]

It doesn't quite answer your question, but for what it's worth, Mitt Romney looked and sounded like an archetypal fictional President in a movie (using past tense because he dropped off the face of the earth after losing in 2012).

 

[friedshrimp]

Willem Dafoe.

 

[Laughs_Under_Lucricities]

Doesn't matter who, just fucking Pacino.

 

[Shokew]

Neil Breen ALL THE WAY - doesn't matter who it is, including Obama.

 

[SPARKLETWAT]

 

[The Iconoclast]

Kevin Spacey

Idris Elba.

I did like Bill Pullman's performance in Indepence Day as President Whitmore.

 

[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

I did like Bill Pullman's performance in Indepence Day as President Whitmore.

Came here to say the same thing. He's got that square-jawed All American face and he actually had some charisma and gravitas in that shitshow of a movie.

 

[AnOminous]

Helen Mirren. As a conservative Republican.

 

[Tookie]

Benedict Cumberbatch because why the fuck not, he plays everything else.

 

[Bob Page]

Benedict Cumberbatch because why the fuck not, he plays everything else.

And he can pull of an american accent quite well. Examples: The Whistleblower and Doctor Strange

As a crack casting, Crispin Glover as Abraham Lincoln.

Crispin Glover makes a great anything.

Linda Hunt, she'd be good. Because of that voice. Nicholson, ten years ago... and this guy. This guy could give Pullman a run for his money I think. he'd have to play a douchey President though. filename from google was wonderful btw

 

[Apocalypso]

I, for one, think Harrison Ford did a great job in Air Force One.

Don't forget Leslie Nielsen in Scary Movie.

 

[Pikapool]

Morgan Freeman

 

[Somar]

Batman
