1. Sir Alec Guinness as Hitler

[JohnKleeb]

3. Damn looks a lot like him

Ive only seen one portryal of Hitler on screen and that was Bruno Ganz in Downfall who I thought did great, funny note about Ganz is I read on IMDB that he was considered for the role Liam Neeson got in Schindler's List, the role of Schindler.

Heres Anthony Hopkins as Richard Nixon, didnt look like him much but from the archive footage Ive seen of Tricky Dick, he seemed to have gotten the mannerisms down great.

2. Anne-Marie Duff as Queen Elizabeth I

4. We could almost do Monarchy Smackdown.

After all, legions of actors have played kings and queens, princes and princesses -- Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins, and Peter O'Toole, to name but a few.

5. Brigadier General John Buford, hero of Gettysburg

Thanks to Buford, the traitorous Confederates were not able to gain the high ground at Gettysburg (Buford and Hancock were amazing those three days that changed the course of the war)

He's also played Sam Houston and Vigil Earp
