Well, they do say TR had a high-pitched voice, but DiCaprio doesn't seem like a good TR, any more than a good choice for Howard Hughes. Brian Keith was an interesting choice in The Wind and the Lion. He was certainly cantakerous -- if that's what Roosevelt was.

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?
