William Wallace (Mel Gibson)
Rob Roy (Liam Neeson)
Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell)
Robin Hood (Kevin Costner)
Genghis Khan (John Wayne ffs)
for starters...
What about William Tell?
Apart from one film in 1987 starring nobody you have heard of, what's wrong with a big star playing him on film?

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

Thanks, Rick. A wonderful actor.
I'd like to read the book about King George's speech therapist. |

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. |
