Famous people they made films about

and they could probably get some sponsorship from Apple.

5/10

quite pleased with that.

Corr blimey

Helen Keller

There have been hundreds.

SF,
Famous actors playing famous people, are some of the worst films I've ever seen. The list you mentioned were chronic, but not as bad as Colin Farrell with blonde ill fitting wig, dark eyebrows/stubble & an Irish accent playing Alexander the Great - that was the worst portrayal of anyone, even fictional, I've ever seen.

By far the best, Welsh actor Martin Sheen, -  Brian Clough, David Frost (Pres Nixon Interview) & Caligula etc.

I did of course mean Michael Sheen!

He sure cleaned up in those roles

Sid James as Mark Antony (Marcus Antonius) another great performance.

Colin Farrell's,  Alexander the Great:-

“Wacha mean we can't?  Sure listen ....when da clock strikes tree tirty tree & tirteen seconds were goin' ta invade Persia - ya eejits!”

Joe Strummer

T.E Lawrence

Streep playing Thatcher is the best ever.

I think Daniel Day Lewis playing Lincoln, surpasses that imo !!

Andy Serkis' portrayal of Ian dury in Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll worthy of a mention.
Brilliant stuff.

I watched The Kings Speech last week.

Fantastic film. The actor who played his therapist was brilliant.

that was Geoffrey Rush Sue

also played Captain Barbosa in Pirates of the Caribbean

Thanks, Rick. A wonderful actor.

I'd like to read the book about King George's speech therapist.

Lionel Logue, that was his name.

This wans ta thrad asking for famos poep whi have ben prraywed on film

It was a question

Why does the real William Tell not get the same coverage as the real Wyatt Earp, the real William Wallace, the real Rob Roy, or the mythical Robin Hood.

Swiss mate

Worst ever must be David Niven as Bonnie Prince Charlie.

jamie foxx was good in ray i heard.ive never seen it but then neither has ray charles

Fantastic performance from Jamie Foxx in Ray.
