Jason Robards played FDR, Lincoln, and Grant. (And Hal Holbrook played one real and two fictional presidents.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_actors_who_played_President_of_the_United_States Jul 04 09, 12:25 PM

Robards protrayed U.S. Grant as a Civil War general, not as a sitting president. Keep looking. Jul 04 09, 12:36 PM

I'm probably wrong, but it looks like Robards played President Grant, not Gen. Grant, in "The Legend of the Lone Ranger." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_the_Lone_Ranger_(1981_film) I'm perfectly prepared to be wrong again. :) Jul 04 09, 1:42 PM

You are right and I am wrong. But I was looking for a different actor who played Regan, LBJ and Nixon. Abjectly, Clemmydog Jul 04 09, 1:50 PM

Rip Torn. He played Richard Nixon in the 1979 TV mini-series "Blind Ambition. He played Ronald Reagan in the 1982 film "Airplane 2: The Sequel". He played Lyndon Johnson in the 1987 TV movie "J. Edgar Hoover". http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001800/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078575/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083530/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093289/ Though I'm not sure that I would count a mini-series and a TV movie as "films", per se.
