Hollywood.com Presents: Top 10 Onscreen Presidents
Posted on 03 November 2008 by Erik
Hollywood.com is running a great piece on their Top 10 Onscreen Presidents, and they’ve include one of my favorites:
4. The president: Richard M. Nixon
The movie: Nixon
The actor: Anthony Hopkins
Why we loved him: Hopkins had to bring a lot of baggage to bring to the table, considering how Nixon is so regarded as a failure. But he plays it perfectly. He gives us the cocky self-assuredness of Nixon’s early years, as well as the paranoid pathos and agony of his latter, and never lets it fall into easy parody.
