That’s sad to hear.

That guy should have received an Oscar for that performance. He is one of those actors that portrays an historic figure so convincingly that no one can ever do it again and be as good. Like Daniel Day-Lewis as Lincoln.

And his performance will likely live on for years in meme form!

I just hope he didnt get typecast because of it.

Not to highjack a thread, but best actor portrayal (imo) was/is William Devane in "The Missiles of October" as JFK

Daniel Day Lewis is one of the best male actors in my lifetime (80+).

The link below will take you to his outstanding rolls.

His Last of the Mohicans and role as Lincoln are my two favorites.

AND the actor who portrayed Roosevelt, or the guy who played Truman.
