There is also the uncredited actor who appeared as Teddy R. in the "Grand Old Flag" act on YDD.

OK, but the quiz is about identifying which real Presidents were portrayed by the listed performers, and the film or TV titles in which they appeared.
Got any of them to post? The contest is still open.

This all begs the question: Who is the actor most qualified to play the Orange Baboon who's currently in the Oval Office? On another thread, a poster suggested William Shatner. I disagreed at the time, but upon further thought, he just might be effective. Time will tell.

I disagreed at the time, but upon further thought, he just might be effective. Time will tell. And you do suggest an interesting topic for another thread -- a reversal of this one ... Presidents would be listed and players find performers who portrayed them.

I disagreed at the time, but upon further thought, he just might be effective. Time will tell. It's hard to imagine making a movie about him. He is his own satire..and I can't think of any way to portray anyone this bad. Oliver Stone made W. and it failed because nothing, movie-wise, could be more simple-minded than the real person. John Goodman comes to mind for orange face, but he would really work have to work at it. No, not Alex Baldwin. Time will tell.

How about a Quiz on the Kings and Queens of England? With Braveheart you could get 2. With The Lion in Winter you could get 3., etc. With various Shakespeare plays you could get as many as 8. Not to mention Lady Jane, which could give you 3 more.

Why limit it to British royals, Kijii? Mine would include France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Denmark -- even Ruritania and Freedonia.
Then there are Emperors, Potentates, Popes, Czars and Czarinas -- and may as well throw in a Prince or two, along with an Earl and a couple of Counts for good measure.

Two lists (by order) that I have learned are: 1) Presidents of the US 2) English Kings and Queens of England--from William the Conqueror (William I) to the present. (When I get bored, I keep trying to refresh them by reciting them in my head.) I have no such list in my head of Oscar winners, more's the pity.....

Very impressive performance, Julie -- especially for a non-American!
Just a ripple or two -- #24 ... Huston's Prez was a fictional one in GABRIEL.

Hhhmmm -- 900 views but only 5 participants.
As James Bond observes about Red Grant ordering red wine with fish aboard the Orient Express in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE:
"That should have told me something."

No problem there, Linda -- all players will be credited for correct posts (even duplicates). There is no scoring this time around.

Good to know that. Next time, I will save time and trouble and simply copy what the others found.
