I don't know how to format the information, but Edward
Herrmann's FDR was definitive. According to your own encyclopedia he played Roosevelt in "Eleanor and Franklin" (1976, TV), "Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years" (1977, TV), and in "A Love Affair: The Eleanor and Lou Gehrig Story" (1978,

I completely agree. The first few sections that lists former presidents that played parts in movies doesn't belong here. Clinton had a cameo in First Kid, but another actor was playing the president in that movie. Trump didn't play the president in Home Alone 2... it just doesn't make sense to list

Alec
Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine are all listed as having played President Jack Ryan. While Jack Ryan eventually became President in the Tom Clancy novels, the character never did in any of the movies. Those fictional movie universes are separate from that of the novels (and

Combining all the actors names behind the name of the president they portrayed is making this list more confusing than it has to be. Before, when the names were separate, a reader could easily match the actor to the movie in which he portrayed a president. Now there's no way to tell which actor

I noticed a few entries on the list for actors (like Harry
Shearer in "The Simpsons") who only provided the voice for a President. I added a few similar items to the list (like Barack Obama and Gerorge W. Bush being voiced by Trey Parker on "South Park"). But if voice actors are included, there

I think voice acting should count, but perhaps these performances should be in a separate section. Including all voice actors would also mean that John Tyler (voiced by
Charlie Rose) and James Buchanan (voiced by David Gergen) would both finally make the list based on their roles in the PBS

The article is called "List of actors who have played the president of the United States" so people who have not played the president should not be listed. Whether they became president later is irrelevant, they were not playing the president at the time.
