I was watching BP's Tony Hayward (http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/06/06/article-1284405-09E931F9000005DC-386_468x383.jpg) giving one of his mea culpas on the news and it occurred that if Michael Sheen (http://surfme.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/michael-sheen.jpg)- the actor who has twice played Tony Blair (http://www.g-8.de/Content/EN/StatischeSeiten/G8/Lebensl_C3_A4ufe/Bilder/tony-blair,property=poster.jpg) and once David Frost (http://www.tv-am.org.uk/uploadedfiles/davidfrost.JPG)- should add him to the list of living public figures he can appear as in headline-based-biopics.

Helen Thomas (http://thebsreport.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/helen-thomas.jpg) could be easily played by Estelle "Mrs. Costanza" Harris (http://l.yimg.com/l/tv/us/img/site/91/26/0000019126_20060921141614.jpg)

For Joe Biden (http://tvoneblogs.com/roland/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Joe_Biden.jpg): ubiquitous character actor James Rebhorn (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/248/524850480_8a13046664.jpg)

Who are some other actors who would seem "ready to go" as various famous (and preferably, but not necessarily, living) personalities?

Wow, they do look alike, they're even wearing the same clothes!
