Tom Berenger was adequate in the TV movie, The Rough Riders, but not a stand out. There have also been one-man theatrical performances that everyone from James Whitmore to John Davidson to Laurence Luckinbill have performed. And there is at least one guy somewhere who makes a living playing TR. Gary Sinese might have been an inspired choice, because he really gets under the skin of a wide variety of different characters.
Now, who to play Taft?
Who will play Taft? Will they go with fat and jolly or dignified and restrained?
