Heaven forbid they find someone 25 years older to play the role.

And will Leo have a lot to say about “the Darkies”? Wilson sure did.

I’ll say this: DiCaprio has really matured as an actor and is being compared to the greats of yesteryear. If anybody can play a historical figure, it’s him.

I wonder who will play all the klansmen who heavily influenced the Wilson administration.

Doing a little reading on A. Scott Berg. From Wikipedia...
Berg also wrote the story for Making Love (1982), a controversial film that was the first major studio drama to address the subjects of gay love, closeted marriages, and coming out. He has contributed articles to magazines such as Architectural Digest and Vanity Fair.

He has my begrudging respect as an actor, which he won with Aviator, and he burnished with his Gatsby. Pity he should use his talents to lionize an evil, despicable character like Wilson.

I only hope that the Woodrow Wilson movie is better than Gatsby. That was a weird one.

I really think all this hubbub about Woody and Friends, is because Beck outed that suka.
SSSOOOOO now, we gots to go back an rewrite a few things.
Never mind Woody hated blacks. Never mind that blacks had worked as bureaucrats and Woody sent them all packing.
Never mind that it was Woody who......
You get the point.

Certainly a better actor than Ben Afleck or Matt Damon.
