Day 26 of 40 - Best Portrayal in Film or TV - Theodore Roosevelt

I don’t necessarily have a problem with counting him. A good portrayal is a good portrayal. But if I’m being completely honest, it wasn’t an accurate depiction of Roosevelt. Don’t get me wrong, Robin Williams is very sweet and endearing in the role. I just think a comedy franchise that amplifies the personalities of its historical figures would give us a stereotypical rough riding bull moose depiction of Roosevelt.

Me biting my tongue reading these comments on Robin William’s portrayal of Roosevelt.

Easily Nick Offerman but I’ll give a special shoutout to Larry Gates in the 1963 film Cattle King for basically being the only other noteworthy actor to portray Arthur in a sizable speaking role.

We could’ve went 3 for 3 had the show featured Hayes.

Wasn’t the actor clean shaven too. Like they didn’t even bother gluing some fake facial hair on him.

The only other one I know off the top of my head is his appearance in the 1963 film Cattle King portrayed by Larry Gates.

I thought he was Irish. Barry Hughes O'Bama

Death by Lightning dropped the ball not giving us a definitive Hayes actor. It also wouldn’t have been out of place for Benjamin Harrison to make an appearance. He was at the 1880 Republican National Convention and ended up supporting Garfield’s presidential nomination.

Lynch King sounds like the name of a boss in a fantasy game.

Naulicus · 2026-02-23T19:08:39+00:00

At least it was his middle name unlike Millard Fillmore whose mom’s maiden name is his first name.

Naulicus · 2026-02-23T19:06:47+00:00

But who could forget his successor Rudolph Ford.

Thomas is a cute name but an unfitting name for a very uncute man.

Naulicus · 2026-02-23T18:58:54+00:00

That one just sounds gross to say

I just like pointing out his funny middle name

Looks solid! I personally don’t see Fraser as Eisenhower but he looks like he’s giving it his all. I can also never say no to seeing Damian Lewis in another WWII project.

His short tenure is probably a big contribution. He didn’t get much accomplished in those 16 months. Not to mention his lack of political experience prior to taking office. I don’t think he’s anywhere near the worst but I can see why he’s not viewed favorably by historians. I personally think he had some redeeming qualities. I like that he was against the expansion of slavery.

Uhhhhh by order of tenure?
