Nice collection that brings back memories. Edward Hermann made a major impression on me as FDR back in the day. Much more recently Daniel Day Lewis took my breath away as Lincoln.

Great collection of movie presidents. I loved Bruce Greenwood as JFK in “Thirteen Days”. In fact, I might watch that again this weekend.

  I thought Bruce Greenwood looked more like former ESPN SportsCenter host Dan Patrick than he did JFK. The actors who looked and talked like JFK never had the opportunity to play him in a movie: Guy Williams of “Lost in Space”, and Jack Lord of “Hawaii Five-0”.
