I was watching BP’s Tony Hayward giving one of his mea culpas on the news and it occurred that if Michael Sheen- the actor who has twice played Tony Blair and once David Frost- should add him to the list of living public figures he can appear as in headline-based-biopics.
Helen Thomas could be easily played by Estelle “Mrs. Costanza” Harris
For Joe Biden: ubiquitous character actor James Rebhorn
Who are some other actors who would seem “ready to go” as various famous (and preferably, but not necessarily, living) personalities?
