After some research I have discovered that the two known actors who look most like Grant are Russell Crowe and, strangely enough, Robin Williams (check out a photo)- I'd love to see Williams but I think Crowe has more experience with this kind of role. I think a younger actor would be best for Booth as the man himself was 26, but someone who can pull off intelligent and dark - my choice is Jeremy Davies (looks like him and can act: Saving Private Ryan).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-70363141718269683092009-03-03T12:03:00.000-07:002009-03-03T12:03:00.000-07:00My history tells me that Lincoln & Andrew John...My history tells me that Lincoln & Andrew Johnson were elected in November of 1864 & inaugurated March of 1865.Therefore Johnson was Vice-President for less than 6 weeks as the assassination occured on Good Friday 4/14/1865.U.S.Grant was inaugurated in March of 1869 making Johnson's term as President just 6 weeks form being a full 4 year term although I'm sure Johnson would have wished it to be less.I think Tommy Lee Jones would be a great choice.I think Johnny Depp would be a stronger Booth as Booth had matinee-idol good looks & was an actor with shakespeare-like range.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-17914088477167530712009-02-23T21:04:00.000-07:002009-02-23T21:04:00.000-07:00Brendan Gleeson.Brendan Gleeson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-12426631835961868972009-02-18T18:35:00.000-07:002009-02-18T18:35:00.000-07:00Looks like Tommy Lee Jones to me!Looks like Tommy Lee Jones to me!Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866532531312584126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-22581609073242049182009-02-17T16:43:00.000-07:002009-02-17T16:43:00.000-07:00I could see Tommy Lee Jones as Andrew Johnson...

I'm sure he'd be terrific, but I'd hate to keep typecast as the creepy nineteenth century assassin.<BR/><BR/>Now who should be cast as Mary Todd? Whoever they cast is likely to be an attractive actress who hardly resembles her. She was in her forties during his presidency, and the only actresses I can think of are either too young or too old. Who would be a good middle-aged actress to portray her?crackers and cheesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903450123621135348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-58918545950842460902009-02-16T16:54:00.000-07:002009-02-16T16:54:00.000-07:00Andrew Johnson - Tommy Lee JonesI think Casey Affl...Andrew Johnson - Tommy Lee Jones<BR/>I think Casey Affleck should play Booth. After watching The Assassination of Jessie James by the Coward Robert Ford, it just made perfect sense to me.<BR/><BR/>Also, I re-upped that Letterman/Phoenix video.
